Abstract

The rapid growth of electricity consumption increased in accordance with the country’s development in order to reach its status as an industrial country. Therefore, the development of a supervisory system that can do both monitoring and controlling play a vital role to balance up the energy production as well as to evaluate the consumption needs from the consumers. Nowadays, the usage of power for individual house may increase due to the less awareness towards the power saving. By turning on the electrical appliances that may not be beneficial enough for the owner, it will increase the power usage in which will double up the cost of utility billing. Thus, the aim of this research is to monitor and control the load utilization by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) via Human-machine Interface (HMI). Hence, PLC is used as the centralized component in sending and receiving data to the system via HMI. This program will be run by designing a ladder programming software and user interface program while its controller will be developed using PLC. The development of this monitoring and controlling system is then simulated based on the customer usage of power consumption through several different cases. As a result, an output power obtained from HMI displays are identical with theoretical value and this research can be applied for domestic user in order to monitor and control the power usage.
