Design a smart energy monitoring for building management system (BMS)

Abstract

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.
