Development of an Embedded System for Building System Management Based on PV-Powered

Abstract

As complexity and the type of electrical applications perpetually expands, monitor and control will require new systems which are based on some features in such feature of self-powered and distantly management. Building management systems (BMSs) are developed as efficient solutions to monitor and control users electrical and mechanical applications. A BMS employs cheap sensors and a real-time module to create prior knowledge about the climate inside the building. As a result, these features give some attractive advantages in taking a precise decision and managing vital operations of electrical applications. In this paper, a Raspberry Pi as minicomputer for collecting information from server room or data centre for detection the existence of human, temperature and humidity sensor and gas sensors to control ventilation systems, Arduino platform is responsible for receiving sensors signal and control actions according to the statues in the server room. While the Xbee protocol has been used to transmit data from the sensing node (Raspberry PI3) to mentors and control nodes (Arduino mega2560). The prototype design has been verified experimentally.
