Abstract

The monitoring of electricity consumption using Internet of Things (IoT) technology is attracting attention as a technology to reduce operation costs of smart farms. In this study, we propose a method to apply a real-time electrical consumption monitoring system (the e-Gauge system) and utilization of the collected data real-time while a melon-producing smart farm is in operation. For this purpose, the electrical consumption data for the individual smart-farm facilities such as boilers, nutrient distribution systems, automatic controllers, circulation fans, boiler controllers, and other IoT-related utilities were collected during three months of melon cultivation period. By using the monitoring results, the electrical energy consumption pattern was analyzed as an example, and necessary considerations needed to optimally utilize the measurement data were suggested. This paper will be useful in lowering the technological implementation barriers for new researchers to build a electrical consumption monitoring system and reducing trial and errors in the usage of the generated data.

사물인터넷(IoT) 기술을 활용한 전력 사용량 모니터링은 스마트팜 운영비 절감 기술 개발을 위한 기초자료로 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 멜론 생산 스마트팜 운영 중 실시간 전력사용량 모니터링 시스템을 설치한 예를 소개하고 이를 이용하여 수집된 데이터를 실시간으로 활용하는 방법을 제안한다. 전력사용량 모니터링 시스템의 실증을 위하여 멜론 스마트팜에서 3개월의 멜론 재배기간 동안 보일러, 양분분배시스템, 자동제어기, 순환팬, 보일러제어기, 기타 IoT 관련 유틸리티 등 스마트팜 시설에서 사용하는 개별 전원 기구들의 전력사용량 데이터를 수집하였다. 모니터링 결과를 이용하여 전기에너지 소비패턴의 예시를 분석하고, 측정 데이터를 최적으로 활용하기 위해 필요한 고려사항을 제시하였다. 본 논문은 전력사용량 모니터링 시스템을 새로이 구축하고자 하는 유저들에게 기술적 진입장벽을 낮추고 생성된 데이터 활용 시 시행착오를 줄이는 데 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
