Abstract:
The growing development of persuasive technologies has led to the creation of systems that help society in a variety of sectors, one in the electric power sector, where applications seek to persuade users to change behavior and save electricity. In this sense, this article seeks to present concepts and techniques of persuasion applied in systems with this objective and to present a prototype of an application that seeks to show the user a prediction about the consumption of electric energy without him acquiring intelligent sensors, only with data that he has easy access.
