Power management has been one of
the most hot topics in the past decade because of the
decrease in the energy reserves. Power shutdown is a major
problem now-a-days and it occurs because a lot of power is
wasted in industries. Reducing energy use and waste is necessary as
well as good for the environment. Measuring and monitoring your home’s
energy consumption is the first step toward finding ways to decrease
it.
While almost every residence
has an electric meter, it usually only shows total household energy
(kWh) consumed, although some include instantaneous power being used
(kW). And the meter is usually placed where it is convenient for the
utility—not for you—to read. But conservation-minded homeowners and
renters can choose from several products that measure and record
electricity consumption to reveal the energy hogs.
If
you want to use energy data to help reduce usage or convince other
household members to adopt energy-saving behaviors, my smart power &
energy monitoring system is for you. My project deals with this
problem in a simple and effective way by auditing power & the
energy usage and can be used in home and industries.
My system will monitor:
- Voltage,
- Current
- Active power,
- Reactive power,
- Apparent power,
- Power factor and
- Total energy consumption
