IOT-ENABLED INTELLIGENT POWER QUALITY MONITORING AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The proposed framework is IoT-Enabled Intelligent Power Quality Monitoring and Energy Management Framework which consists of ESP32 microcontroller and PZEM-004T measurement module to monitor electrical parameters like voltage, current, active power, energy consumption, frequency and power factor. The system wirelessly sends the readings to Firebase Cloud and shows it on a web dashboard. This integration allows to remotely monitor the electrical value, to consult the energy use, and to see the changes in operating conditions. The framework also facilitates the calculation of estimated electricity costs, configure alerts and relay-based load control, offering a practical solution to enhance energy awareness and monitoring convenience.The web dashboard offers a unified display of both ongoing readings and historical data, along with graphical displays, without the need for a separate display for remote monitoring. The integration of embedded processing, wireless communication, and cloud storage and web technologies provide a flexible base platform to support energy monitoring in educational facilities, laboratories, and small-scale industry. Further enhancements may involve better historic data analysis, automatic report generation, and mobile capable monitoring, along with adding greater alert capabilities and providing support for other types of monitoring units. Additional experimental testing is needed to assess the accuracy of the measurement, communication reliability, the response time for the dashboard and overall system performance in various load conditions. The proposed framework has the potential to facilitate effective energy management, but it should not be used as a substitute for certified electrical protection equipment and/or specialist power quality analysers where they are required.
