Implantação de uma infraestrutura de IoT baseada em LoRaWAN para monitoramento energético na UFC - campus Quixadá

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure based on LoRaWAN technology for energy monitoring at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) Quixadá Campus. The proposed system aims to monitor energy consumption using sensors, LoRaWAN gateways, and the FIWARE platform to process and analyze the collected data. Real-time visualization is achieved through integration with the Grafana dashboard. The system evaluation included the analysis of communication metrics such as SNR, RSSI, and packet success rates, confirming the effectiveness of the solution, with stable communication and high success rates, even in challenging environments. The results demonstrate that the system operates efficiently, providing reliable data for real-time monitoring. The study also highlights the potential for expanding the system to other university campuses, offering a scalable and low-cost solution for energy management. As future improvements, the paper proposes monitoring additional devices and more detailed analysis of consumption patterns, further enhancing the system’s ability to optimize energy use in academic environments.
