SGCE: sistema de gerenciamento de consumo elétrico

Abstract

The increasing energy consumption, pollutant emissions into the atmosphere are some of the concerns from various distribution entities and energy producers. However, currently the solution does not depend only of producing entities, but also the consumers who are asked an increasingly active role in managing and monitoring their consumption in order to decrease the environmental impacts of energy production and consumption. The technological growth in recent years has enabled the emergence of various electronic devices capable of monitoring the power grid and who present themselves as fundamental tools for the consumer to take an increasingly active role in managing their consumption, thereby reducing the impact Environmental thereof. This paper presents the development of a power monitoring system based on the use of a microcontroller Arduino. The system implemented collects and processes information from the power supply in real time, allows the presentation of information on consumption in a mobile application for the Android operating system and aims to help consumers save energy.
