Distributed low-cost energy consumption monitoring system for university campuses

Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed low-cost energy consumption monitoring system for university campuses, which comprises a universal PC (personal computer), a monitoring host, gateways and four types of energy consumption nodes, wherein the universal PC, the monitoring host and a plurality of gateways are connected to a university campus network through an Ethernet, and the plurality of gateways are connected with the plurality of energy consumption nodes through a wireless sensor network. The system disclosed by the invention is low in construction and maintenance costs of a backbone network, convenient and agile; a small core ZigBee module is developed in the system, and embedded into the existing energy consumption detecting instrument, therefore, the energy consumption nodes with a communication networking function are formed, and the existing investment is protected, so that the system is easy to apply and promote; and the gateways of the system are embedded into a Webserver, and release energy consumption data in a webpage form, so that a distributed low-cost energy consumption monitoring system is formed, thereby improving the reliability of the system and facilitating the management and the participation of teachers and students.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to an automation system, in particular to a distributed low-cost college campus energy consumption monitoring system. Background technique [0003] Effectively reducing the energy consumption and water consumption of large public buildings is an arduous task for my country to build a conservation-oriented society. In recent years, my country's higher education has developed rapidly, and the construction area of ​​campuses has increased significantly. As a typical large-scale public building complex, energy conservation and water conservation in university campuses have important economic and social significance. In recent years, my country has successively launched three batches of 72 "conservation-oriented campus construction" model colleges and universities, promoting the construction of conservation-oriented campuses in various aspects and at multiple levels. [0004] To build a conservation-oriented campus, the const...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the development of technology, etc., most of the current energy consumption monitoring systems adopt the industrial automation centralized monitoring architecture, and most of them use industrial automation networks, software and equipment, and it is difficult to reduce system costs, maintenance costs, and management costs.

The high cost and relatively independent technical system limit the further promotion and popularization of the demonstration system to a certain extent

At present, most colleges and universities in my country do not have a complete energy consumption monitoring system. They often use manual meter reading and statistics, which is a heavy workload and complicated and monotonous. It is often limited to the overall data at the school level, and it is difficult to integrate water and electricity conservation with grassroots units As a result, the combination of specific departments and laboratory work has reduced the effectiveness of the work, and even lacked the participation of teachers and students to a certain extent.
