DR StratComp

DR StratComp stands for Demand-Response Strategies Comparator. Its purpose is to assess the efficiency of different Energy Consumption Scheduling algorithms in a Smart Grid.

currentcostgui

CurrentCost GUICurrentCost (http://www.currentcost.com) monitors allow you to monitor your home electricity usage. You can connect a serial cable to them to get the data out of them in an XML format. This project contains an application written to capture this data and display it in the form of ... [More] graphs and descriptions. See the features page for a list of what the application can do and a few small screenshots. Downloads - download the latest version of the application Features - see a list of everything the app can currently do Getting started - find out how to get started with the application Prerequisites - see what you will need to run the app FAQ - got a question? it might be answered here Change history - see what changed in previous versions Project feeds - subscribe to get updates when something changes Source code - see the source for the app here... and submit new features! UPDATE: The software does work with the newer CC128 meters. Note: If you want to access the data from CurrentCost meters for use in your own applications, you may prefer to use source from http://code.google.com/p/currentcost/ which gives you enough source to parse and store CurrentCost data, without the graphical representations in this project.

arduinometer

This project is currently a work in progress and represents the output of my work to create an open-source Arduino-powered smart ethernet meter capable of monitoring your electricity, gas and water consumption. Goals: Low cost Support pulse-count electricity, gas and water meters Support ... [More] opto-reflective gas meters Generate data in EEML format (for direct publish to Pachube or consumption via some other service). Follow my progress creating this project online at http://blog.richard.parker.name Note: following the release of my early stage prototype on my blog on 26th April, within the next few weeks I'll be aggregating your feedback with a view to releasing version 1.1 of the code and schematics. Once the initial round of feedback has completed I'll start making the downloads available here. [Less]

deeps-ea

This is an attempt at creating an open source energy/carbon monitoring and targetting software for the purpose of monitoring energy use within commercial and non commercial organisations whether they be a single site entity or multi site,multi national corporation. The objective is that it will be ... [More] able to cope with both high frequency streamed data (say from a IP enabled meter or EDI) and manually inputted data from bills, performance indices etc. In addition it is envisaged that it will also incorporate tariff anlysis and full web and hard copy reporting and carbon footprinting to ISO140064/GHG protocol standards. The objective is that it will become a defacto standard for the energy profesional and those seeking to reduce their organisations carbon footprint [Less]
