| dc.description.abstract | Predictions state that energy demand will rise about 53% until 2030. This fact, aligned with the problem of the on growing scarce nature of fossil fuels represents a serious issue because as it’s well known, energy sectors world wide face serious problems when the topic is energy production. To tackle this problem, the most commonly appointed solution is a sustainable energy development, or in other words, energy efficiency. When energy efficiency is the topic, what comes to mind is energy efficiency in buildings. With that being said, solutions that allow the monitoring of the energy consumption of a building, or that allows the visualization of the behavior of specific electrical devices, are a necessity. With that in mind, a solution that has the purpose to relate the Active Power of specific circuits from an electrical switchboard, to the total Active Power of that electrical switchboard is proposed. This will be achieved by the development of a module that has the capability of monitoring a number of electrical devices that are connected to an electrical switchboard using current and voltage sensors. All the data collected will then be processed with the help of Computational Intelligence (CI) methods, so the relation between the Active Power of specific circuits versus the Active Power from the entrance of the electrical switchboard can be established and then analyzed. It’s important to note that the developed module will be a non-intrusive system, which is a great advantage when compared to other similar products already in the market. | pt_PT |
