IoT based real time energy monitoring system using Raspberry Pi

An IoT based real time energy monitoring system for controlling and monitoring of a switchgear industry is discussed in the present work. Raspberry Pi has been selected for this purpose due to low cost and a highly reliable technology for monitoring the energy consumption of the industry. The Raspberry Pi is used with Node.js programming language to collect the data (various electrical parameters) from the existing energy meters of the industry and to store it locally, for accessing it through Laptop or mobile phone using Grafana. The monitoring system is found be useful to the industry to understand the day-to-day energy pattern, which is essential to facilitate energy conservation measures for minimizing energy consumption.
