12. PROGRAMMABLE POWER USAGE ANALYZER FOR LOAD SURVEY APPLICATIONS

The Programmable Power Usage Analyzer for Load Survey Applications is engineered to monitor, measure, and evaluate electrical energy consumption of diverse loads with reliabil ity and efficiency. In order to better understand load behavior and increase overall energy efficiency, this system focuses on delivering precise real-time data on voltage, current, power, and energy use. It is especially helpful in commercial, industrial, and residential set tings where thorough load analysis is necessary for early defect identification, system optimization, and performance enhancement. The proposed system utilizes an Arduino-based architecture to continuously acquire electrical parameters through suitable sens ing units. Instantaneous and cumulative power consumption are calculated by processing the input data obtained from the electrical load using voltage and current sensors. Because the Arduino is programmable, customers may set critical parameters like lo ad thresholds, sample intervals, and operational restrictions to suit particular needs. Because of its adaptability, the system may be used for a variety of purposes, including major industrial load surveys and small-scale home monitoring. The system als o includes a display module that provides real-time visualization of measured electrical parameters. This makes it simple for users to track changes in voltage, current, and power, assisting them in spotting use trends and unusual swings. The analyzer has data logging capabilities to save past energy usage data over time in addition to real-time monitoring. Conducting thorough load assessments, determining peak demand times, and carrying out energy audits all depend heavily on this recorded data. Additional ly, it facilitates more effective load control techniques and improved planning.
