About:
Data analytics on the electrical parameters is needed in order to improve energy consumption efficiency and prevent adverse events such as power outage, short circuit etc.,. It also helps in protecting and increase the longevity of the electrical equipment. The electrical consumption data is measured usually using the multifunction meter(MFM) installed in residential or commercial buildings. In the commercial buildings, these meters are installed in the panel room (centralized) and in all floors/de- (decentralized). The extraction of data is the first step for the process of data analytics. In order to demonstrate the data retrieval process, a hardware lab set up is implemented using RS 485 communication interfaced multifunction meter (MFM). In addition to the MFM, certain modules (both hardware and software) used for the data extraction.

Description:
The photovoltaic array consists of two 30V 8A panels interconnected in parallel. The planned photovoltaic system has a total capacity of 480W. The photovoltaic effect turns solar energy into electric energy, yielding DC voltage as a result. The output DC voltage is generated by a wind turbine with a total capacity of 700W and an average speed of 5m/s.
