Abstract |
The electric power consumption of the entire Berkeley campus ranges from 18MW to 30MW,of
which Cory Hall, the Electrical Engineering building, comprises from 3% to 5%. Presently, the
power entering the building is metered monthly at the primary terminals of its 12.4 kilovolt
distribution step-down transformer. In order to increase energy efficiency and to experiment
with, and further develop, our miniature electrical sensors, we are in the process of installing
proximity sub-metering of loads accessed through a standard circuit breaker panel to which
miniature proximity-based current sensors have been attached. We have made a two-minute video,
available from the BSAC website, demonstrating the sensors in action. |
