AC Electricity Consumption
7
Awareness – How much AC Consumes??
8
There are ways to measure that…
[1] AC Rated Power: 2000W Duration: 2
Hours9
Indirect Sensing (NILM)
Direct Sensing
Energy consumed/Day
(AC): 4 KwH[1]
10
Can I optimize
this?
Now What?
Optimize AC Performance
11
Detect Occupancy and Actuate
Switched on while it has to be Off
Switched Off while it has to be On
HVAC Actuation
12
Unanswered Questions…
13
What is the current temperature of my
room?
Temperature set is achieved? – In how
much time?
Can I save if I use lower set
temperature?
How to reduce energy bill from
AC?
Do I need to use AC?

Data Validation
Validation of NILM approach.
Extract AC compressor cycles from
meter data and validated with power
measurements from jPlug
Validation of weather data with
actual temperature in the campus.
Validation of weather forecast with
historical weather data from same
weather service.
