We intend to build an Energy Auditing System through a combination of Bluetooth mesh sensor nodes and a Gateway. The system will gather all the sensor node information and send it to cloud for data analysis through Gateway. Two Teams will collaborate to build this entire system. Our team will work on developing a Bluetooth mesh network of wireless power meter sensor nodes that can clamp on to mains line noninvasively. These nodes will report the measured power to the Gateway which will be developed by the other team.
Energy audit and conservation projects require measuring the existing power consumption for the equipment under audit to create a baseline of the existing consumption. Electrical circuits may not be isolated by the type of equipment in many buildings, this causes errors in calculation of the power consumption of the equipment under audit, resulting in erroneous calculation of the baseline, which in turns affects all other energy conservation calculations. Setting up wired metering infrastructure for such temporary measurements would be very tedious and labor intensive. Our project will help setup temporary metering infrastructure that is not labor intensive to setup due to it being wireless and noninvasive.
