The
project is designed to evaluate consumption of any load in units and cost in
rupees as per the energy tariff and the number of hours the load is going to be
used. The evaluation is almost instantaneous thus assisting the user to save
hours of waiting time for the load survey.
An
energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy consumption with
possible conservation in domestic sector or industrial environment etc. As unit
cost of electricity is very high these days it is essential to know if a
particular device or instrument is energy efficient or not.
This
system proposes an energy auditing system for the instruments where the
microcontroller calculates the units that will be consumed by the loads and the
rupees that will be spent on it. The input data i.e. energy tariff and number
of hours the load is likely to be used, is given by the user through push
button switches.
The
relevant information is displayed on an LCD interfaced with the
microcontroller. The microcontroller used in the project is of 8051 family.Further
the project can be enhanced by using a GSM modem interfaced to the device for
remote monitoring of these data over GSM network via SMS. Even load control can
also be achieved over SMS.
