Energy and Power
Format
SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
The purpose of this project is to design, implement, and demonstrate a device that is capable of measuring power and energy consumption of a small household appliance. The design will display the measured voltage, current, power factor, and average power on an LCD display. Energy and power consumption will be plotted using software on a computer. A specific time frame can be specified by the user to start data collection and will be portable for ease of use as a consumer product.
