Energy Management System

Computer Science and Engineering

Data analytics on the electrical parameters is needed to improve energy consumption efficiency and prevent adverse events such as power outages, short circuits, etc. It also helps in protecting and increasing the longevity of electrical equipment. The electrical consumption data is measured usually using the multifunction meter(MFM) installed in residential or commercial buildings. In the commercial buildings, these meters are installed in the panel room(centralized) and on all floors/departments(decentralized). The extraction of data is the first step in the process of data analytics. This paper discusses how the extraction of data is possible from these installed multi-function meters. To demonstrate the data retrieval process, a hardware lab setup is implemented using RS 485 communication interfaced multifunction meter (MFM). Today IoT becomes convenient for people to send and receive information. IoT becomes convenient because it can send and receive data from a far distance. Apart from that, it also allows a user to control the appliances remotely despite the length. This research project is about the design and development of electrical energy monitoring system as well as appliances control using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology
