REAL TIME ENERGY DATA ACQUISITION AND ALARMING SYSTEM FOR MONITORING POWER CONSUMPTION IN INDUSTRY

S. D. Sankpal, S.B.Patil

Abstract: Manufacturing and the processes involved consume substantial amounts of energy. There can be requirement of energy management technique in the power tool manufacturing industry. The maintenance department in power tool manufacturing industry may have different load centers like machine shop, winding shop, utility and assembly shop etc. Readings on these meters are taken manually. This process is time consuming and has inefficient accuracy. So, there can be need of computerized energy data acquisition system. By providing an alarming system the energy losses will be monitored. Through this system design, there will be automatic elimination of man-made errors, reading energy consumption report through Microsoft excel as well as firing through email.

Keywords: Energy losses, Microcontroller, RS 232 and PC
