Análise de viabilidade técnica e econômica e efeitos da geração de harmônicos na utilização tecnologias da informação em redes ZigBee

Abstract

This work will consist of two studies that will evaluate the performance of measuring devices (temperature, current, voltage, and water consumption) using ZigBee networks. The first study will evaluate if the voltage and current sensors are influenced by harmonic distortions in their measurements by means of non-linear loads. To validate the study, the obtained results will be compared with the values measured by an oscilloscope, used as standard measurement instrument. The second study will attest to the viability of the sensors in a residential environment, performing measurements of temperature, current, voltage, and water consumption and comparing the measured results with the standard equipment of the residence. These devices use radio data transmission through modules called Xbee, based on the Arduino platform, using the ZigBee network as a communication protocol.
