Abstract

Most countries in the world are working hard to make a shift towards the use of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources are ideal to narrow the energy gap between demand and availability. Monitoring energy consumption from renewable energy sources will enable effective control of the load. It is important to monitor the energy consumed from the renewable sources in order to balance the demand and the capacity. This paper discusses how embedded Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) can be used to monitor the electrical energy drawn from the renewable source and how to use National Instruments dashboard app to see real-time energy consumption. We will develop a prototype of embedded DAS that monitors energy consumption rate by the domestic appliances and later see it in real-time.
