Application of an Energy Management System via the Internet of Things on a University Campus

Abstract

This study developed an energy management system (EMS) via internet-of-things (IOT) for lighting control on a university campus in Taiwan. The system structure of EMS was composed of five layers: a network layer using WebAccess, an application layer using software and controllers, a control layer using remote I/O, an equipment layer using the lighting equipment, and a perception layer using light sensors. The proposed system for lighting control on a university campus was completed successfully and running smoothly online. This study provides valuable reference in engineering and technology education employed in training and development programs.

Analysis of Cloud Computing Algorithm based on Smart Campus Message System

“…In summary, the smart campus message system construction method based on cloud computing algorithm can bring a lot of convenience to the school staff. Compared with the method of [5], the advantages of the proposed method are as follows.…”

“…The whole process embodies the theory of smart campuses. In the literature [5] method, the application network areas are relatively independent, and access to the external network and internal network access is chaotic, and it is difficult to effectively manage the network in all areas with a unified system. The technical implementation is as shown in Table 1.…”

“…At the micro level, it revealed the characteristics of the informationization effect of college campuses and build a smart campus message system based on this feature. Shyr et al proposed a smart campus message system construction method based on embedded and RFID IoT technology [5]. It consisted of a smart RFID sensing module, network fusion module, embedded hardware support module, support station module, business application module, and comprehensive service module.…”

“…(3) Experimental results and analysis, from the network index, data processing, business interface, human-computer interaction and other technical aspects, the advantages and disadvantages of method [5] were analyzed, and compared with experimental data, the superiority of the proposed method is proved.…”

Analysis of energy losses reduction potential on the distribution line of campus building through electric power quality improvement

“…The reduction pathway of electricity consumption through inefficient replacement of inefficient electric equipment with more efficient equipment has been studied in several kinds of literature [1,2]. While reducing consumption of electrical energy through reducing waste of electrical energy can be done through management approach and automation [3,4]. This analysis is focused on reducing the consumption of electric energy through the path of improving the quality of electric power on the distribution lines in the buildings.…”
