Abstract
Effective energy management and control is an
important and urgent issue in the emerging and developing
countries, so as to achieve their sustainable growth, because of
poor quality of power supply by their electric power companies.
In order to come up with the frequent electric power outage
by the power company, most of buildings in developing and
emerging countries install a power generator. Although because of
poor control system in the premises, utilization factor of output
capability of power generators is typically low except at peak
periods. To improve the utilization factor of power generator,
we propose a system, which can manage power segments in the
building using SCB (Smart Circuit Breaker). SCBs are connected
by wireless technologies with battery backup, and set their power
capping based on the indication issued by central manager. The
central manager computes power capping threshold of each SCB
using the proposed algorithm, in real-time fashion. Experimental
results show that the proposed algorithm can optimize the
required capacity of the local power generator and that we need
a feedback-looped adaptive threshold calculation algorithm.
