Design and implementation of wireless power monitoring system for public buildings

Abstract

This paper represents the system design and implementation of a wireless power monitoring system for public buildings, which aims to help the country to save energy and electric power supply service providers to determine effective and efficient energy supply in urban area. Public building energy waste has been a big problem in cities and towns in China for several decades. The main reason for this is that people may forget to turn the electrical power off when leaving as the bill is not paid by them. In our monitoring system, a real time electrical power meter is used to track the operation situation, and the sensed data will be sent to the central control device through gateway. The controller will respond to the abnormal usage of electrical power due to this information. The schematic design and working procedure of each component has also been presented in this paper as well.
