Power Monitoring and Analytics System

Abstract

Power Monitoring and Analytics System plays a vital part in the electricity value chain. The system provides smarter solution such as real time power consumption and log of electrical energy consumed related to time. The requirement for Power Monitoring and Analytics System is the accessibility of metering data in a near real time with accuracy and authentication. The possibility of a consumer reading the statistics remotely, hence avoiding the need for consumer’s estimation of consumption basically refers to the “smartness” of the metering substructure. In this project the data acquisition module samples the power flown/ withdrawn from the electric network, these readings will be communicated to the Head End System (HES) via Automated Meter Reading (AMR) infrastructure which waives off the requirement of consumption approximations and self reading, allowing a Time of Use (ToU) or even Real Time Pricing (RTP) regime. A supplementary benefit of the system to consumers about the usage of energy at their connection points, is to help them have an improved mindfulness of their power usage activities, which means more the data is available, greater will be the customer ability to control their own waste full Usage. In order to respond close to the time of consumption will be requiring that metering data to reach them as swiftly as possible. Currently the existing service provider does not provide such data in the near real time with low latency, accuracy add authentication because the data collection procedure of the existing system is not able to cater for this requirement. Hence power monitoring analytics system is the only feasible solution that enables the transmission of raw data from the data acquisition module to the devices located near the customers premises such as smart phones which help the customers to get real time information about their energy usage and cater for the energy conservation.
