Implementation of a secure system for calculating and supervising the energy consumption of electrical equipment

Abstrak

With the advent of smart grids and the growing challenges associated with the production and consumption of electrical energy, it is crucial to deploy reliable systems to monitor production and consumption, as well as to improve energy efficiency. To ensure optimal decision-making in energy management and control systems, it is essential to have both efficient measurement systems for data collection and acquisition and secure information exchange. These elements are fundamental to ensuring the smooth operation of energy systems and enabling precise supervision of energy flows, thus contributing to more efficient use of available electrical resources. This article focuses on the implementation of a complete electrical energy calculation and management system for energy consumers. To achieve this, devices such as integrated digital control units and current and voltage sensors are used. The system architecture guarantees precise measurement and calculation of electrical energy and other important parameters, such as power factor in the case of inductive and capacitive loads, which have an effect on reactive energy. The data collected is stored in a secure database.
