麻豆AV

Yuan and Tegho are in their last year of electrical engineering at 麻豆AV and are keen about sustainability and energy conservation. Together they designed an 鈥渆nergy management and power disaggregation鈥� system that helps homeowners and businesses better monitor, control and manage the energy use of individual appliances.

Their system records and monitors energy consumption of appliances using a power meter that is installed at the source of distribution. Advanced processing software then takes that information and breaks it down into how the energy is being consumed. It then feeds that information to a mobile app, giving businesses and homeowners better control over energy consumption.

鈥淭rying to monitor power consumption at the appliance level isn鈥檛 new,鈥� said Whittingham. 鈥淏ut coming up with an almost purely software-based solution makes this system exceedingly cheap and adaptable.鈥�
