Concept of an Electronic System for Energy Monitoring of Industrial Plants

Abstract

In this study is presented a concept for an energy monitoring system, applicable in industrial enterprises. The architecture of the system includes one master device, numerous sensors and repeaters, as well as a gateway and a database. The communication between the master and the sensors is implemented using a wireless sensor network, while the communication between the master and the database could use any appropriate technology. The study also presents the algorithm, describing the behavior of the system, the format of the data packets and the algorithm for measuring the key energy characteristics of the network.
