| Summary: | Nowadays, many residential and commercial buildings that used electricity
needs to take care the power factor to avoid penalty from the utility
companies. A power factor that is close to one provides a good indicator for
the overall power quality. Therefore, power factor improvement plays a
significant role to reduce electricity consumption and more efficient system
operation. In this paper, the design of power factor meter using Internet of
Things will be discussed. Voltage and current sensors outputs were
interfaced to Arduino, in which the real power and apparent power were
calculated to determine the power factor. Results showed the effectiveness of
our proposed device in measuring power factor. Moreover, the measured data
points were logged in an SD card and can be accessed by computer with
Matlab graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, IoT framework analysis
for smart meter which can provide power factor improvement, remote
monitoring, and data logging was further discussed in this paper. |
