Real-Time Grid Load Visualization and Consumer Impact Analysis

⛶  Fullscreen ↓  Download

We aim to bridge the gap between end-users and the operational data of distribution grids by providing real-time, accessible visualizations of grid loads. We bring a hands-on challenge that leverages a hardware setup featuring a Janitza power meter, commonly used within distribution grids, alongside a local server infrastructure to read and store data in InfluxDB.

Challenge

Our challenge is to create a user-friendly web interface that visualizes the load measured by the Janitza power meter. This visualization could be represented in a form such as a traffic light system, signaling the maximum load levels. Additionally, we aim to incorporate sample household consumption data and explore how this individual data correlates with the overall grid pattern. The goal is to provide end-users with insights into their contribution to grid peaks (which can lead to higher costs) or their ability to consume anti-cyclically to help reduce peak costs.

Data

The hardware setup includes a Janitza power meter that will be connected to a local server, capturing data via Modbus and storing it in InfluxDB. We will also provide sample household consumption data for analysis and correlation with the grid load patterns.
