[[alternative]]The Application of ZigBee Technology to the Power Consumer and the Street Light Monitoring System

碩士電機工程學系[[abstract]]本文應用無線感測網路於電力用戶監控與路燈故障自動通報系統之研製，電力用戶監控系統，採用數位式電表設計，搭配ZigBee無線感測網路模組，並藉由ZigBee點對點的傳輸特性，將客戶用電資訊回傳至監控管理中心，以便監控人員掌握各用戶用電狀況，並達到自動抄表管理功能，有效節省人力資源。本文探討的電力監控包括：停電、復電、過電壓、低電壓、契約容量以及用戶在正常情況下的用電度數值，除了每個月、每一天的用電度數統計外，監控端還架有手機(GPRS)專用查詢網頁，讓用戶在外可以即時知道用電情況，也可申請簡訊方式定期通知。 路燈故障自動通報系統，採用感測器完成路燈照度資訊擷取，並依路燈目前照度資訊辨別是否發生故障，再利用ZigBee無線感測網路模組回傳訊息。監控端接收回報訊息後，可在第一時間調度人員前往勘查及修復，省去以往需要依賴人力通報的程序，系統並自動將路燈故障位置即時展示於Google Earth上提供監控人員參考。為了驗證路燈照度量測方法，本文採用光學軟體（Light Tools）模擬，再配合實際電路測試結果互相驗證。而遠端控制中心的監控系統是利用VB(Visual Basic)所建立的，除了接收訊息外還會自動將資訊存入資料庫，以利用戶或維修人員查詢與調度。[[abstract]]In this thesis, the application of the wireless sensor network on electric power consumer supervision and streetlight breakdown automatic reporting system is investigated. The supervision system is based on digital meter application and ZigBee, the wireless sensor network module. With its peer-to-peer transmission, ZigBee is able to transmit the power consumption back to the control center on the purpose of a thorough supervising. Besides, it is able to practice the function of automatic meter reading as well as to decrease the need of human resource more effectively. The electric power consumer supervision in this paper includes: power outage, power repair, over voltage, low voltage, contract capacity, and the statistics of using power under normal condition. Besides, a monitoring terminal which estimates daily and monthly power consumption and an inquiry webpage specially designed for general packet radio service users is provided. This terminal allows the consumer to have a fully understanding toward their power consumption in real time; moreover, regular cell-phone text alert is also available. Streetlight breakdown automatic reporting system acquires the illuminance information via sensor to make judgment on the occurrence of streetlight deficits and to transmit the information back to the system itself through ZigBee. Monitoring terminal is able to dispatch maintenance technicians to examine and to repair upon receiving the signal. Furthermore, the system helps to skip the procedure that requires human reporting while automatically displays the instant deficit spot in Google Earth as the reference to the control center. The streetlight illuminance measurement exemplified by the comparison between the simulation results by the Light Tools optics simulation software, and the laboratory results onelectric circuit experiment is adopted. The supervision system of remote control center is built up on Visual Basic, which functions to receive consumption information and to save it in the database automatically so as to fulfill consumer inquiry as well as maintenance technician dispatch
