An Automatic User Terminal of Central Heating System Based on WSN and Automatic Control Technology

Most of the energy consumed by the heating industry is from the burning of non-renewable coal. The environment problems caused by burning coal are more and more serious. The development of WSN and the advent of micro-controller chip integrated with RF module make it possible to design a low-cost, easy-deployed and automatic user terminal for central heating system. This paper presents the design and implementation of this kind of automatic monitoring and control system. It provides the ability of not only thermal measurement but also automatic control. Using traditional central heating system, known as district heating system, users can not control their room temperature; but using this system they can. This will explore the users´ potential for saving energy.
