eVisualizer – Visualisation of Household Electricity Consumption Data (B)

Status: Abgeschlossen

Background

This student project is a part of our our ongoing project Innovative Services based on Smart Meters, in which we collaborate with two Swiss energy providers. Within the last year, we instrumented multiple test households with different sensors, measuring values such as the electricity consumption of each household, occupancy, or consumption of individual appliances. The underlying technology has been developed in previous student projects: "Smart meters in the field - A sensor framework for a real world deployment" and "Integrating submeters to individually monitor appliances".

Objectives

Purpose of this project is to provide customers with useful feedback regarding their electricity consumption. This is achieved with the help of an app for an Android tablet computer. The app will feature several visualisations of the measured electricity consumption data collected by the smart meter.
