Design and Application of Embedded Intelligent Power Consumption Terminal

摘要

Intelligent power consumption system is an important mean to improve the energy efficiency. An embedded terminal was designed in the system, which can achieve intelligent control and management for devices, and reduce power and energy consumption. The terminal in the system was designed and implemented based on ARM platform, using B/S structure to communicate with the remote server through Internet. It has several wired and wireless communication interfaces, which can be connected with various electric equipments. For extensibility, the software of the terminal uses a hierarchical and modular approach which includes communication layer, device layer, interface layer and intelligent power consumption layer. Meanwhile, the communication protocol and the unified interface design in the terminal make sure that the terminal can interact with the remote server reliably and timely. Through experiments in the demonstration operation region, it concludes that the terminals work stable and reliable, and equipment intelligent control and management are fulfilled. The system has many advantages such as modularity and scalability, which can be widely used in many fields like smart grid and smart home, etc.
