Abstract
- Today, the world’s electricity consumption is growing rapidly, and therefore energy demands are also increasing. In the past few decades, various measures have been taken to improve equipment and system design to increase production and transmission efficiency and reduce power consumption. This article proposes a novel Internet of Things (IoT)-based temperature control power extender with two working modes of cooling and heating to solve power shortages. The power is turned on or off accurately and in a timely manner through a temperature-sensing element, thereby avoiding unnecessary power consumption to achieve the goal of energy-saving. This can directly power on or off the power extender through the Internet. It can also use a 2.4G Wi-Fi wireless transmission to transmit, for example, real-time temperature information, the switch status and the master–slave mode. Related data can be controlled, collected and uploaded to the cloud. Each proposed power extender’s temperature setting in a large-scale field can be set uniformly, and no staff is wasted to set the temperature separately. Taking a general industrial electric fan as an example, if it is changed to drive with this temperature control extension cable, and assuming that the industrial electric fan is activated for 900 s per hour, its power-saving rate is 74.75%.
