Java-University-Project---Electricity-Management-System

About the Project

This is an Electricity Management System developed as a university project for a CSE course in the 3rd Semester. The application provides a graphical interface to manage electricity usage, billing, and monitoring for different sectors, buildings, and apartments.

Features

• Interactive Map Visualization: Sector-based electricity usage monitoring with color-coded intensity
• Real-time Monitoring: Real-time electricity usage tracking with dynamic updates
• Billing System: Automatic billing calculation based on usage
• User Management: Add, edit, and delete users and buildings
• Email Notifications: Send bills and notifications to users via email
• Simulation Mode: Simulate electricity usage patterns
• Data Persistence: Save and load data from files
• Multi-threaded Processing: Efficient handling of real-time data updates

     java -jar CSE-ELctricity.jar

2. Using an IDE:

   • Import the project into Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or NetBeans
   • Ensure all dependencies are properly configured
   • Run the Main class located at src/com/electricitymanagement/Main.java

Project Files

• src/com/electricitymanagement/Main.java: Entry point of the application
• src/com/electricitymanagement/gui/ApplicationGUI.java: Main GUI window
• Data Files:
  • ElectricityFile.txt: Stores electricity usage data
  • ElectricityUsers.txt: Stores user information
• Images: Map and sector images in Sectors/ and Sector buttons/ directories

Technologies Used
