The Implementation and Application of Energy Consumption Monitoring and Management System

Abstract

An energy consumption monitoring and management system was established in the wind tunnel center of Tongji University. The hardware of the system included electronic measuring instrument, programmable logic controller (PLC) and an energy-saving data collection server, EcoWebServerII. The electronic measuring instrument collected electric parameters of each circuit node and EcoWebServerIImonitored and stored the energy consumption data. The software of the system included project management module, system configuration module, system maintenance module and data monitoring and analysis module. In the data analysis module, an energy consumption model was developed with the decision tree algorithm. The model can predict the hourly electricity consumption of the office building in wind tunnel center. The equipment energy consumption also can be analyzed and the warm-up time can be predicted using collected data. The users can reduce the warm-up time to save energy consumption.KeywordsEnergy consumption monitoring and managementprogrammable logic controllerdecision tree algorithm
