| Summary: | This paper presents the design, fabrication and testing of a smart metering device
for Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. The device was
fabricated by using Arduino UNO shields combined with GSM module (SIM900A) and
current sensor or current transformer (CT). The device was used to measure the
power consumption of the air-conditioner. It was observed that the device can read
and calculate the current flow directly from current transformer (CT). From the CT,
the value of power consumption could be measured and the Arduino programming
would run the calculation of the parameters and display the values on the LCD. The
device was tested on the computer linked Air Conditioning laboratory unit in
thermofluids lab. It can be concluded that the device can help to improvise monitoring
system on air-conditioning power consumption. The device can be a handful gadget
for all users to estimate their power consumption independently |
