Abstract

As complexity and the type of electrical applications perpetually expands, monitor and control will require new systems which are based on some features in such feature of self-powered and distantly management. Building management systems (BMSs) are developed as efficient solutions to monitor and control users electrical and mechanical applications. A BMS employs cheap sensors and a real-time module to create prior knowledge about the climate inside the building. As a result, these features give some attractive advantages in taking a precise decision and managing vital operations of electrical applications. In this paper, a Raspberry Pi as minicomputer for collecting information from server room or data centre for detection the existence of human, temperature and humidity sensor and gas sensors to control ventilation systems, Arduino platform is responsible for receiving sensors signal and control actions according to the statues in the server room. While the Xbee protocol has been used to transmit data from the sensing node (Raspberry PI3) to mentors and control nodes (Arduino mega2560). The prototype design has been verified experimentally.

Highlights

POWER CONSUMPTION and security systems for buildings is one of the topics has great interest at this time, all the time the institutions, researchers and governments looking for keeping every topic related power consumption, security systems for buildings, firefighting systems, cooling systems under development by conception of smart management systems
The prototype hardware consists of Raspberry Pi for collecting data of sensors reading from inside the building all the time[10]
The Xbee s2 module is connected with Raspberry Pi in order to ensure a fast transfer of measured data to the monitoring side

Summary

Introduction

POWER CONSUMPTION and security systems for buildings is one of the topics has great interest at this time, all the time the institutions, researchers and governments looking for keeping every topic related power consumption, security systems for buildings, firefighting systems, cooling systems under development by conception of smart management systems. The application of embedded systems encouraged Stakeholders to develop embedded systems for managing and monitoring the energy units all the time. These systems are developed based on a modern wireless connection and minicomputers. Power consumption represents a critical concern for embedded devices. The improving battery life was exclusively responsibility by the hardware design, but those days are gone. Software in embedded systems has recently taken responsibility for controlling power consumption. Power consumption represents a major problem in embedded systems, while self-powered systems have become extensively used. As the device size has become smaller and thinner, this limitation prevents the system from incorporating a large capacity battery for long-term use [1]
