The Power Usage Allocating System to Optimize Based on the Priority Load

摘要

Monitoring energy consumption in a household is an essential thing for optimization of electrical power usage. Unnecessary or excessive power usage can lead to power outages and damage the electronic devices, so the end-user needs a control device to overcome it. In this paper, we propose an easy-access device that can provide real-time information about energy consumption and optimization of power consumption. The method for current measuring is used ZMCT103c whose works on some transformer and for voltage measuring is used ZMPT101b whose works on step down transformer. This system is focused on loads management priority in study case boarding house with total active power 900 watts which are created to scaled loads allocation based on electronic devices susceptible to damage that caused by power outages with assumption 2 (two) rooms and 3 (three) loads each room. The system has priority mechanism for load usage that could not be shut down such as PC (personal computer) and refrigerator. The device works by distributing maximum 55% of active power from excess power room to needed power room so that can avoid power outages and increase the efficiency of power usage.
