Monitoramento do consumo de energia elétrica em aparelhos de ar-condicionado em sistemas residenciais: Climatização sustentável

Abstract

The exponential increase in electricity consumption by the Brazilian population has been remarkable over the years, with the residential sector being one of the main contributors to this scenario. In this context, the growing acquisition of air conditioners stands out, known for their high electricity consumption. Faced with this reality, there is a need to develop solutions aimed at efficiently controlling and monitoring energy consumption in this sector, especially in air conditioners. With this purpose, this work proposes the creation of a prototype aimed at monitoring and regulating electricity consumption in residences, with a specific focus on air conditioners. To achieve this, a system will be employed that utilizes components such as NodeMCU, SCT-013-000 current sensor, and a web platform to enable remote monitoring and control of energy consumption of these devices. Regarding the results, a real-time power reading system was implemented, as well as a fully functional web application. Although we were unable to test the prototype directly on an air conditioner, the tests carried out demonstrated effectiveness, leaving room for improvements in future work.
