  • Wireless sensor network for measurement of electrical energy consumption
    Patent number: 10191095
    Abstract: There is described a system to measure the electrical consumption of a household. This system consists of a network of measuring devices that are attached to wires between electrical appliances and circuit breakers and of a communication and processing unit that receives measurement data from the measuring devices. Low precision sensors based on the Hall effect may be used for obtaining precise measurements of energy consumption by providing a casing for the measuring devices that ensures a fixed, known, and precise alignment with respect to the wire to which it is attached. Low precision sensors based on the Hall effect may also be used by performing a correction calibration of measured data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2019
    Assignee: SOCOVAR S.E.C.
    Inventors: Ghyslain Gagnon, Sebastien Jomphe, Daniel Sicard, Michel Dallaire, Dominic Arbour
  • Energy consumption evaluation system having reduced energy consumption
    Patent number: 9679472
    Abstract: There is described a system for measuring energy consumption of individual electrical devices amongst a plurality of electrical devices. The system is adapted to determine in real time energy consumption while reducing its own consumption of energy by adjusting a transmission rate to between status sensing devices and a consumption evaluation device. The transmission rate is adjusted as a function of learned energy consumption habits and/or consumption characteristics of individual electrical devices.
