Sistema de monitoramento de consumo de energia elétrica residencial

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the development of a prototype for a residential smart meter. The project for this device was conceived in response to the constant increase in electricity tariffs, which has encouraged the search for more efficient ways to control energy consumption. The smart meter allows users to monitor energy consumption in real-time through an interactive web platform, providing more conscious and efficient management of energy resources. The system was programmed to measure electrical quantities such as current, voltage, and instantaneous consumption, transmitting this data to a cloud database and presenting it in an accessible manner to the user via the web platform. In addition to detailing the device development process, the thesis discusses the calibration and performance tests conducted, comparing the results obtained with other meters available on the market. The prototype demonstrated accuracy in measurements and a considerably lower cost compared to commercial alternatives, making it viable for implementation in homes as an energy efficiency tool. The relevance of the project aligns with the growing demand for sustainable solutions and technologies that promote home automation and the rational use of energy resources.
