Energy Monitoring System By Demarcus Hamm Advisor: Professor Cherrice Traver
Purpose • To advance Smart Grid concepts by analyzing data from an energy monitoring system.
Project Goals Real time wireless energy monitoring system in ECE labs • Understand energy usage in ECE labs • Time of day • Type of device • By room • Provide educational display for visitors and students
Design Requirements • Wireless • Stores data by day and time • Graphically display data • Visible display • More than one circuit • Expandability
Design Options Various plug in systems D.I.Y option Power Logic BCM Owl Cm119 TED 5000
TED System Components Current Transformers (CT) Measuring and Transmitting Unit (MTU) Gateway
TED System 4 MTUs per gateway and 2 CTs per MTU Footprints software Accuracy within 2% Power Line Carrier (PLC) Measures RMS real power 1 watt sensitivity
Display Requirements • ECE hall way • Internet access • Must be 2 inch depth or less • No user interactions • Stand by when no one is around
Display Choices • All in one computer • Tablet PCs • I-pad
Standby Mode Solution • Stand by when no one is present. • PIR motion sensor • Remote control
TED Footprints Pros Cons • Displays power factor, complex power, and real power • Graphically displays data • Can’t switch between display modes automatically • not very fine detail • No way to tell MTUs apart or values without user interaction
Software • “It’s Electric” modified • Switches between displaying by minute, hour, day, and month • Can be viewed off the Union Network • Faster than Footprints and has finer details
Communication Diagram HTML Raw Data
Electrical System Complication Home Panel Panels in the Lab • 2 phases and ground • 180 degrees between each phase • 3 phases and ground • 120 degrees between each phase
MTU Compensation • TED5000 support forum advice. • Cannot connect between phases. • Wait for 3 phase MTU
Future Work • Software improvements • Add additional sensors to the set up • Change MTUs for 3 phase • Incorporate the circuits in the N100 panel
