Due to lack of natural resources, a lot of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum has to be imported for power generation. Both energy demand all over the world and the price of energy have been increased. To slow down the speed of global warming and to reduce the amount of carbon producing, various energy-saving policies have been applied by many counties to reduce the amount of energy usage. This thesis proposes a energy management system by integrating a ZigBee-based remote controller and a multi-function digital meter for residential and commercial customers. It can be easily installed without requesting modification of original circuits of electric appliances to achieve load for the demand response of the power company.
The master station reads the power consumption of appliance through the RS-232 interface and detects controls the state of the remote device. With VB software, the system can measure the amount of power usage, by each load device to support the analysis of customer consumption. The load reduction can easily be achieved with the remote control according to the demand response issued by utility control center. By measuring and verifying the energy management system, the performance of power management is improved.
