Label：Power Meter Project
Prospect: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through our common efforts.
Overview
Many years ago, Google had put forward a point of view that just by focusing on energy consumption, you can save a lot of energy without any impact to your life. For companies with large electricity consumption, saving a few percent of the energy means saving a lot of money. For families, perhaps the saving cost of a few dollars per month may not be large. However, if more people pay attention to power consumption, the cumulative energy savings will not be a small figure, which is very meaningful to gas emission reduction.
The powermeter project of Goole had ceased. However, we consider this idea is great, so we lauch this platform now.
Features
- Providing energy monitor & analysis
- Centralized monitoring mode based on GIS
- Wechat, SMS or Email Alerts; Energy consumption report
- Consumption Behavior analysis based on deep learning (under development)
- Do not specify the meter and upload devices, support any standard modbus RTU meter
- Providing API interface; the platform can be used as middleware.
Energy consumption platform：pm.lewei50.com，Click on Demo can login to the simulationg system.
Centralized monitoring page
On this platform, the meter register address can be customized, supporting all kinds of meter access.
How to access the platform
Access to the platform requires the following two steps
- Prepare the hardware (modbus RTU meter, DTU that supports the register packet)
- Get licensed SN of DeviceBit
Hardware
Modbus Meter
Any meter which sopports Modbus RTU protocol can access our platform. Both three-phase meter and single-phase meter are sopported. The main parameters collected by our platform are as following: voltage, current, active power, power consumption, power feed (optional). By customizing the register address of corresponding parameter, the configuration of this meter can be completed.
DTU
All kinds or DTU which support register packet can be used as access devices, such as URS730S. Or this open source DTU DIY open sourceGPRS DTU.
Settings:
socket：pm.modbus.lewei50.com:9970
register packet： Send once on power; the content is SN (Please refer to the following section to see how to ge SN.)
baudrate：set baudrate according to the meter parameters
Get lisences SN
The access devices link the meters and our platform by lisenced SN. The methods to ge SN are as following:
Personal users or nonprofit organizations
Please send emails to designated email address to apply for SN for free according to instructions while registering your own accounts.
Companies
Please purchase SN charged by annual service fee. Please refer to commercial offers for specific price.
Hardware Kits
The mode of common meter+ common DTU is supported by our platform. However, in order to allow more people to use easily, we also provide a small amount of hardware kits which can be used directly.
