Intelligent system for monitoring electrical power consumption

It was my Master’s Thesis and the first complex project that I have worked on. 
I presented it at the international conference “Eurobrand” in Kladovo in June 2011.

The first part of the system is power analyzer PM500, it is preview at the picture below.




PM500 measures 3-phase currents and voltages and calculates powers (S, P and Q), power factor, THD, maximum demand currents and powers and energy.

Intelligent system for monitoring electrical power consumption has the software for PC. With this software PM500 can be connect to PC. PM500 has RS485 connection port and for connection with PC we need RS485 to USB converter or RS485 to RS232 converter. Software for PC can read all data from PM500, draws it in real time and saves it in file. On pictures below there are screens shots from the software for PC.





Software for PC created in the Lab Windows CVI. 

Intelligent system for monitoring electrical power consumption has embedded system which can be connect to PM500. The embedded system reads data from PM500 and save it in a file at SD card. This file can be read and preview at PC in the previous described software for PC. 

The embedded system has the possibility of adding GSM module which informs users via SMS messages about electrical power consumption. 

Hardware for the embedded system used PICPLC16 v6 from “Mikroelektronika” company. It is preview on the picture below.
