| #ECEB SUBMETERING Team Members -Aleksai Herrera (aleksai2) -Jonathan Izurieta (jji11) -Mike Lee (dcl3) Our RFA is based on Prof. Schuh’s proposal for a 3-phase, 208V, 60Hz power meters that can be placed inside individual rooms for detailed power monitoring. #PROBLEM The ECEB is notably a net-zero energy facility, which is possible due to utilization of energy efficient methods such as the use of solar panels. We would like to be able to measure and share data collected from the energy generated by the solar panels in order to help track the efficiency and use of energy of the ECEB building. With regard to the ECEB submeter of previous semesters, we would like to improve upon the accuracy of the data recorded to yield more practical and useful results. #SOLUTION Our solution is to create power meters that can accurately measure power, voltage, and current of individual rooms within ECEB and be able to accurately get and store these data metrics as well as being able to display them to either an LCD or the TVs within the ECEB. We plan to improve upon many of the shortcomings the previous implementation faced. #SOLUTION COMPONENTS ##Subsystem 1: Power System This system is required for powering the IC's, microcontroller, and LCD along with any other components of our project. Chargeable Battery (5 to 10V) Linear Regulator (Buck Convertor) MC34063AP ##Subsystem 2: Sensor/Electricity measurements This system will allow the received AC signals to be changed into DC digital signals that the microcontroller can interact with. ADC converters for current and voltage MCP3008-I/P Voltage Transformer Voltage Divider Circuit Voltage Pull Up Current Transformer CTF-5RL-0400 Current Divider Circuit Current Pull Up ##Subsystem 3: Storing Information Our design intends to store information offline onto a SD card and onto an online server Microcontroller to Display and data recording System: ESP32 Microcontroller used to transmit recorded data offline to SD card and to online server. SD card module to interface SD card and ESP32 SD card to store data on A cost effective online server or database to store our data ##Subsystem 4: Visual display of our data This system allows us to display our data onto a screen to display to the viewer. Usbc to HDMI to display information on a TV LCD screen to display data onto #CRITERION FOR SUCCESS Be able to store our data offline on to SD card along with the date and time Be able to upload our data online every 15 minutes via wifi Be able to display data and waveform on LCD or TV Be able to measure Voltage, Current, Power, and other key data metrics (Power Factor, etc.) |
