Abstract:
In this work, we present the implementation and deployment of a wireless sensor network for the monitoring of electric energy uses in smart buildings. This wireless sensor network is based on our newly-developed Granular Radio EnErgy- sensing Node (GREEN), which consists of a micro-controller, a radio, a battery and a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) magnetic field sensor. The GREEN node can be easily attached to a current-carrying conductor for proximity-based electric current measurement. The intent of this article is to fully disclose the information regarding the design, fabrication and implementation of this GREEN-based wireless sensor network used as an electric energy monitoring system. It should be noted that the wireless sensing platform is not limited to energy monitoring, but can also be well adopted in other applications and deployment settings
