A SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING, MONITORING, MANAGING AND ALERTING THE HIGH POWER CONSUMING UTILITIES
Technical field of invention:
[001] Present invention in general relates to the home appliance control system and more specifically to a system to monitor, manage andcorrelate ambient temperature and humidity with power consumption ofhigh-power consuming utilities.
Background of the invention:
[002] India and most developing countries use coal for generating over 60% of electricity to address the growing energy needs. Based on quality of coal used, each 1 KWh of energy generation emits 450gms to 1,120gms of CO2 into atmosphere and is one of the largest contributors for global warming. With 60%-70% of energy consumed in residences, commercial buildings and offices is for air conditioning (heating or cooling), there is a direct relation between CO2 emissions and raising temperatures worldwide. Hence the need for home automation tools capable of not just measuring the energy usage but more importantly prevent energy wastage, while also motivating the users to use energy only when required.
'0 [003] In addition, "Smart Grids" have been in planning phase only in most of the countries in world due to budgetary and logistical constraints. Simply put, unless a lot of junction or area-based transformer upgrades are done, today a densely populated area's power consumption surges can damage the specific location's transformers during power failure and power's coming back up. This adds another requirement to the smart system platforms that are particularly connected to high power consuming utilities.
[004] Several devices are invented and available in the market for a while now with the primary applications limited to "remote ON/OFF and scheduling". While a few devices also can monitor instant energy consumption, utility of these devices is limited to home automation rather than offering anything that can be called "Smart".
[005] Although various attempts are made before, for providing various meansfor controlling and monitoring power consumption in home appliance and few of the existing systems are found as- US8255090B2 discloses systems and methods for monitoring and controlling the power consumption of a power-consuming device, US9310401B2 discloses power monitoring device for identifying state of electric appliance and power monitoring method thereof, US8649987B2 discloses system and method to monitor and manage performance of appliances, US20130307702A1 discloses method and system for effective management of energy consumption by household appliances, US6633823B2 discloses system and method for monitoring and controlling energy usage, US7043380B2 discloses programmable electricity consumption monitoring system and method, W02017034500A1 discloses plug and play smart home control system and method.
[006] There exist various drawbacks apart from their exorbitant cost in manufacturing and maintenance in the existing system. Therefore to avoid the drawbacks of the existing system there is need to develop an improved and intelligent system for managing the power consumption of the high power consuming home appliance. Hence the present invention provides a system for monitoring and management the high-power consuming utilities.
Objective of the invention
'0 [007] An objective of the present invention is to attempt to overcome the problems of the prior art and provide an improved system for monitoring and management the high-power consuming utilities.
[008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a system to correlate ambient temperature and humidity with power consumption from high-power consuming utilitiessuch as air conditioners (cooling or heating).
[009] It is therefore an object of the invention to detect utility related issues such as dusty air filters, coolant leakage, cooling fan related issues etc. and report to the users.
[0010] It is therefore a further object of the invention to measure, monitor and report usage patterns for consumers to consider changing their usage behaviour.
[0011] It is therefore a still further object of the invention to provide anauto-shut down facility to connected utilities when left in stand-by more for certain time.
[0012] These and other objects and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the further disclosure to be made in the detailed description given below.
Summary of the invention:
[0013] Accordingly following invention providesa system for monitoring and managing the high-power consuming utilities.The proposed system provides a system which correlate ambient temperature and humidity with power consumption from air conditioners. Herein the proposed systemcan control the home appliance without the need of remote server and incorporates Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Wherein with Bluetooth the user can control the device locally without the need of any external server. And with the Wi-Fi the user can control the device from any remote place. Both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth uses shared antenna.It measures the daily power consumption of air-conditioning and reports this measured data to the ML server. The ML server intelligently analyzes the data. If more power consumption is detected by the ML server and through a mobile application; users get indications for same fault.Once the appliance goes into standby mode for more than 10 '0 minutes the specially designed system automatically switches off the appliance to save the energy.A unique dual output isolated miniature AC to DC converter circuit is provided which adds up to the safety of the device. Due to the isolation in between the AC and DC circuit there is no chance of interference as well as damage on the secondary side of the DC component.Further, ML server and the android mobile application can predict the probable power consumption of the device and report the schedule maintenance of the connected home appliance.
Brief description of drawing:
[0014] This invention is described by way of example with reference to the following drawing where,
[0015] Figure 1 of sheet 1 shows the flow chart of the proposed system.
[0016] In order that the manner in which the above-cited and other advantages and objects of the invention are obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be referred, which are illustrated in the appended drawing. Understanding that these drawing depict only typical embodiment of the invention and therefore not to be considered limiting on its scope, the invention will be described with additional specificity and details through the use of the accompanying drawing.
Detailed description of the invention:
[0017] The present invention relates to asystem for monitoring and managing the high-power consuming utilities. The proposed system isspecifically addressing the high-power consuming utilities such as air conditioners (cooling or heating).
[0018] The proposed invention provides a remote monitoring and management of the utilities along with it also correlate ambient temperature and humidity with power consumption from air conditioners. By integrating temperature and humidity monitoring facilities into the system, it can also detect utility related issues such as dusty air filters, coolant leakage, cooling fan related issues etc. and report to the users. This can save as much as 20% of energy wastage in general.
[0019] Moreover the proposed system measure, monitor and report usage patterns for consumers to consider changing their usage behavior. This alerts consumer when the utility is consuming more power than required. And also provides an auto-shut down facility to connected utilities when left in stand-by more for certain time and thus reducing ghost energy consumption.
[0020] In the preferred embodiment, the system can control the home appliance without the need of remote server which reduces the latency of switching. This system incorporates Bluetooth and Wi-Ficonnectivity. With Bluetooth the user can control the device locally without the need of any external server.
