Abstract

Invention details A name that reflects an invention. A device for measuring and displaying real-time carbon dioxide equivalent energy consumption in the electricity sector. (Real-TimeCarbonDioxideEquivalentQuantificationandDisplayApparatusforEnergyUseintheElectricalPowerSector) Branches of science related to invention. Energy and materials engineering for carbon neutrality. The nature and purpose of the invention. This invention comprises a set of various types of sensors, including electrical sensors (Power Meter) for measuring voltage, current, and electrical energy consumption. Data from the sensors is sent to a software processing unit which uses algorithms to calculate CO₂e emissions according to the Emission Factor standard of the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization. The results are then displayed on a dashboard connected to a cloud server, allowing for historical data retrieval and supporting alerts for abnormalities. Objective of the Invention 1. To create a device capable of measuring and processing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the form of CO₂e in real time. 2. To reduce operating costs and improve energy management efficiency. 3. To support environmental reporting and monitoring in accordance with international standards. 4. To enable users to access information conveniently, quickly, and securely through a Cloud Server. Background in the relevant art or science. Background of the Invention Currently, monitoring and reporting energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is essential for organizations in the energy, industrial, and transportation sectors to support sustainable development and compliance with environmental measures. However, traditional measurement methods rely on retrospective data collection, statistical analysis, and manual labor, which is time-consuming and costly. This invention was developed to address these problems by utilizing Real-Time Monitoring technology combined with cloud processing and dashboard display. Brief description of the painting. Detailed description of the invention The overall system structure will have three main components as follows: 1. Connecting sensor devices to external gateway devices using RS485 serial communication allows for long-distance data transmission between various devices, such as electrical sensors, wastewater sensors, and location sensors, to collect signals and send them to a virtual server. 2. The system's operation begins at the virtual server (Cloud server), receiving data from external gateway devices into a central processing unit (Software processing unit). This unit consists of a set of algorithms to process the incoming data and display the results in a connected dashboard, allowing for retrospective viewing and support for notifications in case of abnormalities. 3. The dashboard display, showing signals sent from the virtual server (cloud server), will display CO₂ emissions according to the Emission Factor standard. This allows for the detection of anomalies and alerts users via lights, sounds, and other communication devices. Advantages of the invention It helps organizations track energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions in real-time. Reduce costs and labor required for inspections. Supporting environmental reporting according to international standards. Promoting energy management and sustainable development.
