Diseño e implementación de un prototipo IOT para monitoreo y control del consumo energético en redes de baja tensión para uso residencial.

Abstract

Nowadays, digital electric meters are replacing analog ones due to their better efficiency in terms of monitoring and management of the subscriber network by the electric company. Current energy measurement systems do not present detailed reports on consumption carried out on a monthly or daily basis, as well as in real time; and the management of smart devices for energy saving on various platforms is a big problem for users. To solve the occurrence of these drawbacks, it is necessary to promote the use of a system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor and control electricity consumption. The present work describes an inductive methodology for the design and implementation of an IoT prototype, using the census data to activate different events that will act in the study place. The main results of the study indicate that the values measured by the system are similar to reliable measurement equipment, great capacity to reintegrate into service in the event of power cuts, adequate latency of the service and considerable savings in electrical consumption in refrigerators, applying a system of Smart outlet drive control based on the internal temperature of the appliance. Consequently, the implemented IoT system allows the user a better management of the energy consumed in the home, as well as an integration of various services through a friendly interface for easy and fast management.
