Abstract

Energy efficiency is being considered an important aspect even for home users. In order to save energy and reduce costs, it is equally important to understand user habits regarding their energy usage and home appliances electrical characteristics. However, most of the smart home devices focus on automation and does not provide the necessary electrical data to better plan regarding energy efficiency. In contrast to on-the-shelf devices, this article presents a low-cost Smart Plug that embeds advanced energy metering features. Measured electrical parameters are easily available locally and remotely and provide full information about attached appliances. By “labeling” connected appliances and AC power characteristics, researchers and developers are able to develop load monitoring research that improve users knowledge about their energy usage. Thus, the developed Smart Plug becomes an essential tool for researchers to better understand appliances in a context of distributed generation and nonlinear loads, as well as provides end user information about energy usage while implements affordable home automation features.

具有电能质量和能量分析仪功能的低成本智能插头

即使对家庭用户来说，能源效率也被认为是一个重要的方面。为了节约能源和降低成本，了解用户使用能源的习惯和家用电器的电气特性也同样重要。然而，大多数智能家居设备专注于自动化，并没有提供必要的电气数据来更好地规划能源效率。与货架上的设备相比，本文提出了一种低成本的智能插头，嵌入了先进的能源计量功能。测量的电气参数很容易在本地和远程获得，并提供有关附加设备的完整信息。通过“标注”连接设备和交流电源特性，研究人员和开发人员能够开发负载监测研究，从而提高用户对其能源使用情况的了解。因此，开发的智能插头成为研究人员在分布式发电和非线性负载的背景下更好地了解电器的重要工具，并为最终用户提供有关能源使用的信息，同时实现经济实惠的家庭自动化功能。
