    abstract = {This study presents the conceptual Android applications
model for the smart micro-grid power pool monitoring and control
scheme. The rational for energy sustainability is the focus of this
research. Several hybrid formations are utilized on either
standalone or off grid basis without formidable measures to
monitor and control the system against energy wastage remotely.
This research work proposed smart micro-grid integrated scheme
with android enable operated soft-touch human machine interface
for the remote monitoring and control of the hybrid power pool
system with its load shedding capability for energy sustainability.
The optimize hybridized renewable energy resources harvested
from the abundant wind, sun, water and bio-resources with
the grid and generator sources from afikpo local government area
of Ebonyi state was considered as a research focal point. Proteus
was used in designing system circuitries for the control and
monitoring of the power pool system to ascertain its
functionability. Arduino IDE was used in developing, monitoring
and control algorithm for the system operation. The sublime text
enables HTML, JAVA and CSS program for the android
application implementation. The design provides a remote operated
touch screen human machine interface for the pool resources to be
centrally manage or control thus, eliminating energy wastage. Five
communities where selected for this demonstration. The results
reveal that the android enable remote soft touch human machine
interface facilitates optimal energy operation. Further research
work should be tailored towards developing a similar scheme using
same approach for up to 10 communities in the similar local
government areas to face out energy sabotage.}
