Innovation Nation: Energy Use Awareness

January 20, 2011 | 1 Comment »


 

Anthony Rowe, an assistant research professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, knows exactly how much energy his home appliances use. He can pull up an energy profile for his refrigerator to make sure it is working correctly and can even turn on his bedroom light from his office. It’s all part of Rowe’s research, aimed at generating awareness about energy use. Rowe’s home appliances are all connected to wireless sensor nodes, individual sensors that gather remote information and link to a larger network. The nodes are little black boxes that function like adaptors, plugging into an outlet and connecting to an appliance. Inside each node are sensors that measure an appliance’s energy output while recording the area’s environmental conditions like light, temperature and vibration. The sensor nodes are part of CMU’s FireFly Wireless Sensor Network, a low-cost and low-power hardware platform that collects and transfers data in real-time. Only in the last two years have Rowe and his collaborators begun developing energy monitoring applications for the FireFly technology with funding from the National Science Foundation.

These generators produce and store electricity to be used in running small home appliances. If you take a look at the word “windmill” you will realize that this type of alternative home energy device was used for a purpose other than producing electricity. Solar energy — Many people think of this type of alternative home energy as something that’s technologically advanced. In a sense, harnessing the power of the sun to produce electricity is. But this alternative home energy has already been in use for a long, long time. This alternative home energy is harnessed nowadays for a variety of tasks. Some use it to heat their homes, others use solar power to heat water, and other people use solar cells to power small appliances and save a little on that electricity bill.
