Perinet Use Case Energy consumption measurement in residential buildings (Zentinel MDS)

The challenge

A large residential building needed a precise, automated solution for monitoring and billing electricity consumption per flat. Previous manual meter reading methods were time-consuming, error-prone and not scalable.

Realisation

  • ZentNodeMT adapters count the pulses from electricity meters (e.g. 1 pulse = 100Wh) and convert them into consumption data (kWh).
  • The data is transferred to a ZentEdge server, which acts as a central MQTT broker and SQL database.
  • The building management is able to call up both the current and cumulative consumption of each flat via a central dashboard.
  • With the help of MQTT control commands, the power circuit of individual flats can be switched on or off remotely as required.

Added value

  • Automation: Fully automated recording and billing without manual intervention.
  • Scalability: The solution supports practically an unlimited number of flats.
  • Security: TLS-encrypted communication guarantees data protection.
  • Cost efficiency: No additional SCADA systems or expensive control units required.
  • Flexibility: Ready for immediate use with plug-and-play configuration.

Additional application options

  • Office buildings: Monitoring the electricity consumption of individual rental units or departments.
  • Industrial plants: Monitoring the energy consumption of specific machines or production lines.
  • Smart cities: Integration into urban energy monitoring systems, e.g. for public buildings or street lighting.
  • Public utilities: Monitoring of pulse-controlled water or gas meters.
