    Design and Implementation of Energy Usage Monitoring and Control Systems Using Modular IIOT Framework
    (2021-05) Chheta, Monil Vallabhbhai; Chien, Stanley Yung-Ping; Chen, Jie; Li, Lingxi
    This project aims to develop a cloud-based platform that integrates sensors with business intelligence for real-time energy management at the plant level. It provides facility managers, an energy management platform that allows them to monitor equipment and plant-level energy consumption remotely, receive a warning, identify energy loss due to malfunction, present options with quantifiable effects for decision-making, and take actions, and assess the outcomes. The objectives consist of: 1. Developing a generic platform for the monitoring energy consumption of industrial equipment using sensors 2. Control the connected equipment using an actuator 3. Integrating hardware, cloud, and application algorithms into the platform 4. Validating the system using an Energy Consumption Forecast scenario A Demo station was created for testing the system. The demo station consists of equip- ment such as air compressor, motor and light bulb. The current usage of these equipment is measured using current sensors. Apart from current sensors, temperature sensor, pres- sure sensor and CO2 sensor were also used. Current consumption of these equipment was measured over a couple of days. The control system was tested randomly by turning on equipment at random times. Turning on the equipment resulted in current consumption which ensured that the system is running. Thus, the system worked as expected and user could monitor and control the connected equipment remotely.

    Energy Management using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and ISO 50001
    (Indiana Chamber of Commerce, 2022-07-26) Razban, Ali; Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology
    The manufacturers and businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their energy consumption due to increase in energy cost and growing concern regarding global warming effect on our environment. Energy management is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to save money, cut greenhouse gas pollution and help businesses/ manufacturers to improve their energy efficiency. Proper energy management program reduces energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, reduces utility bills and improves profit. This can be achieved by having a proper energy management program in place which would not only improves the energy efficiency and it would also make the efficiency sustainable. “ISO 50001” can help the businesses/ manufacturers to reduce their energy consumption and achieve continual operational improvement. Measuring and considering the full array of benefits provided by energy efficiency is crucial to ensuring that all cost-effective efficiency resources are captured. New emerging technologies, such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), propel the advancement of production process monitoring into real-time. An area where IIoT plays a major role is in the monitoring of energy consumption. Smart meters and sensors, which form the backbone of IIoT technology, provide awareness of energy consumption patterns by collecting real-time energy consumption data. As the data size amasses, a new word was coined – Industrial Big Data (IBD). With the help from IIoT and cheap data storage, IBD become available in almost every aspect of production process, including in energy management.
