Design of the Fuel Consumption Monitoring System for the Diesel Generator

摘要

The real-time monitoring system for the diesel generator?s fuel consumption will be designed based on Zigbee technology. The system consists of the principal and subordinate computer and communication program. The subordinate computer is a PLC-centered fuel consumption meter which function as the indicator and storage of turbine flowmeter data. Zigbee module realizes data acquisition and wireless transmission while Zigbee coordinator receives data transmitted by the subordinate computer and then sends those data to the Principal Computer (PC) with data analysis software. The verified experiment shows that the system can realize the real-time and accurate measurement and effective transmission of flow data in the environment blocked by buildings and within the 30 m distance.
