星型網路的能源節約裝置應用於智慧生活空間之研發

Abstract

本論文有別於一般的待機電力量測方式本論文提出了一個新的思維與架構。透過本研究團隊以IEEE802.15.4為基礎所設計開發的無線感測器網路平台將電器的用電資訊做整合，成功的透過無線感測網路來量測電器耗電，將無線感測網路導入待機電力之監測與控制。提供了一家庭用電能源流向之智慧控管系統與介面。在不對電器內部做任何更動的情況下，有效的藉由外部之能源節約裝置降低了待機電力之消耗。並使之可以觀察人們的用電行為模式。期望藉由長期的量測家電功率來了解人們的用電行為，透過對待機電力的量測來做更近一步之電器控制，以此降低待機電力亦或整體住宅內之能源消耗。

This research created a whole new thought and structure for standby power monitoring. A wireless sensor network based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard was developed to integrate and to retrieve information related to the power of the appliance. Through this wireless sensor network, a new intelligent home energy managing system was developed. Without making any internal configuration changes, the external power saving device developed can effectively reduce the standby power usage. We can record and analyze human habits on power usage through long-term monitoring by using this newly developed system. It was found that monitoring the standby power provides us with a means to control the appliance power usage even further. Using this control system to consequently reduce the standby power and then the whole house power usage is the long-term goal of the research along this line.
