An energy monitor is a visualization of the energy status of various systems.
The energy status of various systems is reflected and visualized on the monitor screen.
One example of a general-purpose system that even uses an energy monitor in the market is a hybrid car that displays the system usage of the motor and engine on a monitor screen in the driver's seat.
The system is also used in homes, stores, large venues, buildings, and other facilities with solar and other power generation systems.
The most familiar use of energy monitors is in households that have installed solar power generation systems and small storage batteries, which have recently become less expensive and are recommended in various fields.
In addition, although the scale is larger than that for household use, they are also used in stores, large facilities, buildings, and factories. Locations that have installed similar natural power generation systems such as solar and wind power generation systems and energy storage systems such as lithium batteries.
They are the most practical means for users to understand the status of power generation, storage, and usage of electricity is an energy monitor visually.
Energy monitors are indispensable for understanding the status of energy specifications.
The principle of energy monitors differs greatly depending on what the energy monitors displays (display specification). If the display specification is simply to show the operating status of the system, then the energy monitors will be able to display the status of the various machines connected to the system, such as ON and OFF.
If the display specification is simply to show the operating status of the system, it is simple to use LEDs, etc., to show only the operating status of the various machines connected to the system.
However, many of the systems actually required are not so simple. Most of the systems that are actually required to display the operating status of each machine.
In addition to the operating status of each machine, however, many of the systems actually required
To quantify power, the product of the machine's measured voltage and measured current must be calculated and displayed.
Voltage and current measurement circuits are required to calculate and display the product of the machine's measured voltage and measured current.
Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of these power measurements, it is ideal that each machine be equipped with its own high-precision power measurement circuit.
The reality, however, is most machines do not require the detailed addition of circuitry components that are unnecessary in practical terms and can increase costs and cause malfunctions.
An additional large power measurement circuit is installed at the first entry point of the entire system to monitor the entire system's power usage.
The monitor displays the power usage of the entire system, quantifying the usage and power status of each machine.
The monitor displays an estimated value obtained by multiplying the percentage of power used by the overall power consumption.
The energy monitors with a highly accurate power measurement circuit will vary depending on the system requirements for the energy status of the system to be monitored and displayed.
