Paper Title
Embedded Controlled WSN Based Design and Implementation of Torque and Efficiency Monitoring in Induction Motor
Abstract
The system proposed in this paper aims at monitoring the torque and efficiency in induction motors in real time
by employing wireless sensor networks (WSNs). An embedded system is employed for acquiring electrical signals from the
motor, and then performing local processing for torque and efficiency estimation. The values calculated by the embedded
system are transmitted to a monitoring unit through a wireless WSN by using RF module because Wireless sensor networks
are an emerging technology for low-cost, unattended monitoring of a wide range of environments. At the base unit, various
motors can be monitored in real time. This study demonstrated that the use of intelligent nodes, with local processing
capability, is essential for this type of application
