Developing of a monitoring and control system of an electric load for domestic applications

The energy consumption is justified by the man´s need of having a comfortable survival, thus, the production, generation and power management is a clearly relevant and vital fact. This paper describes the development of a prototype system to carry out the measurement, monitoring and control of electrical charge whose application is purely residential, with the aim of not exceeding a certain limit of consumption, this device will handle circuit switching, display and storage of information. Moreover, it can work wired or wireless by using the Zigbee standard. It is important to point out that this paper will focus in the technologies used to develop the mentioned equipment and how they are integrated to obtain the final prototype.
