為了提高能源的使用效能,監控電源與能源管理已被大量提出討論,其中以無線區域感測網路 (Wireless Local Sensor Network, WLSN) 建構其家庭自動化 (Home Automation, HA),實現家電控制與節能控制,是未來不可或缺的趨勢。因此本文旨在結合智能電表與無線通訊技術加上簡易圖型化介面操控,其設計是透過節能插座量測電力使用狀況然後無線網路遠端傳遞訊息給操控者,操控者使用圖型介面遠端接收訊息,並可控制插座上的電源開關功能與接收量測電力資訊,藉由記錄判斷電力品質狀況。以往我們所使用的舊型家電其實比新型節能家電消耗更多電力我們卻不自覺,節能插座可以明確記錄各家電用電量,並瞭解每個家電的用電結構,最後針對其效能評估其經濟效益,汰舊換新,做出最有效率的節能改善。另外,通常人們在使用家電設備時,常會忘記將不需使用的電器插座移除,使家電設備在無形中繼續消耗了待機電源,節能插座可利用電腦遠端監測控制電源電力,警告消耗了過多電源,深夜可設定關閉,到了清晨做定時喚起,進而達到節能之功能。
Along with the rapid development in technology and growth in population around the world raises a continuously higher demand for energy resources. This also brings about pollution to our planet. In order to improve our environment, conserving energy and reducing carbon emission is become the important topics. In order to enhance energy using efficacy, researchers propose a lot of methods in the field of power management and energy saving. Using (Wireless Local Sensor Network, WLSN) to construct (Home Automation, HA) is an indispensable trend of home appliances and power saving implementation. This thesis integrates the smart meter, wireless communication technique and simple graphic interface control to develop home appliances power saving control. The design is using power saving socket to measure power usage condition and transmit its status to user through wireless network. User can observe the graphic interface to remotely receive the information, and can also control power switch function and receive power information to evaluate the performed power quality. Conventional appliances consume more power than new type of power saving appliances. The energy saving socket can record the power consumption of every appliance and analyze the power consumption structure of every appliance. Finally, the economic efficiency of every appliance will be evaluated and yield more efficacy improvement. Besides, when users forget to remove the power socket of unused appliance which cause these unused appliance consume standby power, the proposed intelligent detection socket will remotely monitor power and inform users that unnecessary power is used. Our system can set power scheduling function at a certain time to avoid unnecessary consumption.
