Por muito que se fale em eficiĆŖncia energĆ©tica, o seu reflexo depende em muito, da sensibilidade que cada pessoa ou organizaĆ§Ć£o detĆŖm sobre os seus potenciais consumidores. No que concerne Ć energia elĆ©trica, dizer que aumentou a eficiĆŖncia da instalaĆ§Ć£o, porque o nĆŗmero de quilowatts por hora (kWh) na fatura diminuiu, sem abordar temas como fator de utilizaĆ§Ć£o, ou nĆveis de conforto, nĆ£o Ć© bem o que se espera. A utilizaĆ§Ć£o de energia de forma racional, e eficiente, implica que o utilizador conheƧa os consumos dos equipamentos, e que adapte a sua utilizaĆ§Ć£o Ć s necessidades existentes, minimizando o desperdĆcio.
O crescimento acelerado do consumo de recursos, pƵe em causa a existĆŖncia dos mesmos para geraƧƵes futuras. Exige-se por isso o compromisso de todos, no desenvolvimento de soluƧƵes que permitam diminuir este desperdĆcio.
Existem atualmente soluƧƵes que permitem monitorar o consumo de uma instalaĆ§Ć£o como um todo, ou equipamento a equipamento, no entanto, estas soluƧƵes sĆ£o genericamente muito dispendiosas, em parte devido ao mercado a que se destinam, que sĆ£o as empresas.
No mercado residencial, percebem-se os custos da instalaĆ§Ć£o pelo valor a pagar na fatura, mas este, nem sempre representa o valor efetivo do consumo de determinado mĆŖs, podendo ter por base estimativas. Ao consumidor do mercado residencial oferecem-se tarifĆ”rios em funĆ§Ć£o do perĆodo em que Ć© consumida a energia, mas Ć© urgente que se forneƧam ferramentas simples, que permitam saber o consumo dos seus equipamentos, e atuar sobre os mesmos.
Neste trabalho desenvolve-se uma tomada, com capacidade de monitorizaĆ§Ć£o do consumo de energia, com possibilidade de atuaĆ§Ć£o remota ou programada sobre a mesma. O equipamento desenhado prevĆŖ-se de baixo custo em detrimento de uma alta precisĆ£o. A soluĆ§Ć£o necessita de uma ligaĆ§Ć£o wi-fi, para se ligar a uma nuvem, funcionando segundo os princĆpios da internet das coisas. O acesso aos dados, definiĆ§Ć£o de proteƧƵes, e atuaĆ§Ć£o sobre o dispositivo, podem ser realizados em qualquer lugar, utilizando um dispositivo que possua ligaĆ§Ć£o Ć internet.
As much as one speaks on energy efficiency, its reflection depends mainly on the ensibility that each person or organization exerts over their potential consumers. In what concerns the electrical energy, saying that it has increased the efficiency of installation, because the number of kilowatts per hour (kWh) shown on the invoice has decreased, without tackling topics such as the utilization factor, or levels of comfort it is not quite what we expected. The use of energy in a rational and efficient manner implies that the user knows what the consumptions of the equipment are, and adapts necessities to meet existing requirements, minimizing lost. The accelerated consumption of resource growth undermines the existence for future generations. It is required therefore commitment from everyone, in the development of solutions to reduce this waste. Presently there are solutions that allow the monitoring of consumption of an installation as a whole, or of each equipment, however, these solutions are generally very expensive, partly due to fact that the main customers are businesses and companies. In the residential market, the installation costs are shown on the invoice, but this does not always represent the true monthly reading of the consumption, it may have been na estimated cost value. To the residential consumer, the electricity rates are offered, depending on the time/hour in which energy is consumed, but it is urgent to provide simple tools, which allows the consumer to be able to understand the consumption of their equipment, and be able perform on them. In this work, a plug/socket switch was developed, with the capacity of monitoring the consumption of energy, with the possibility of remotely or programmed performance/operation on it. The designed equipment is expected to be low cost, to the detriment of high accuracy. The solution requires a wi-fi connection, to connect to a cloud, working according to the principles of the internet of things. The access to data, definition of protection, and performance of the device can be carried anywhere, using a device that has an internet connection.
