Desenvolvimento de protótipo de medidor eletrônico de energia elétrica monofásico utilizando rede lora

Abstract

Electric energy meters are equipment capable of measuring the consumption of electricity in a consumer unit. Electrical energy metering devices are present in most homes and dwellings globally, from a small commercial room to large industry. This study can be considered exploratory because it provides greater knowledge on the subject of an applied nature, establishing the practice of specific problems of the organization to solve them, and qualitative, seeking to understand its concepts, under two aspects, bibliographical research with the purpose to identify the authors' approaches through books, theses, articles, electronic sites and, case study, to analyze the development of a prototype of an electric energy meter using a LoRa network in a company in the Manaus Industrial Center. The LoRa meter was developed to meet the following needs of electricity utilities: Pricing, long-distance monitoring, and quality of services delivered to customers far from large urban centers and without internet access (rural areas). With this development, it was possible to monitor customers' energy consumption, monitor the quality of energy delivered, and safely and effectively check the bad weather to which the meters are subjected at their installation site with measurement of temperature and humidity.
