Power Monitoring System Using Zigbee

DOWNLOAD ABSTRACT

AIM:

Design and Development of Power monitoring system using Zigbee.

PURPOSE:

In recent times every one installed DC appliances like DC fan, DC bulbs and DC based other appliances. But DC appliances consume less power. Reading DC power is useful for these kinds of devices. Here we are going to design power monitoring system using ZIGBEE. Using this we can monitor power from remote location.

DESCRIPTION:

This project includes Zigbee module (HC12), which is connected to Arduino through UART interface. Two DC fan/motor controlled by two relays which are connected to Arduino digital pins. Voltage and Current sensors connected to Arduino Analog pins.

WORKING:

Here there are two sections. One is transmitter and other is receiver. Transmitter side Arduino, Zigbee, Two Relays, Two fans/motors, voltage and current sensors interfaced. Arduino calculates voltage and current of two loads. User can control two loads from receiver section. Receiver section consists of Zigbee and pc or laptop. Based on number of loads current consumption will increase. Based on current and voltage, power will be calculated. These values will display on 16X2 LCD. Also these values displaying on serial monitor at receiver side.
