碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 電機工程學系研究所 === 99 === Because of shortage of natural resources, Taiwan must rely on the imported fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum for power generation. The demand of fossil fuel for all over the world causes increasing energy cost and global warming. Thus, to execute energy-saving policies and to reduce the amount of carbon producing can help many countries to decrease the amount of energy usage and global warming. This thesis proposes a intelligent digital meter by integrating a energy metering IC, microprocessor, and RS485 which support demand response to control loads for residential and commercial customers. The master station can execute real-time management to measure different power consumption, by each load device to support the analysis of customer consumption, and load forecasting with RS485. From the result, the developed intelligent digital meter to verify residential or commercial energy-saving effect and potential.
