為了改進現有電力系統在系統建置、電力監測器及告警機制方面的缺失，本研究結合幾個熱門的資通技術如雲端運算、嵌入式閘道器、ZigBee無線感測網路、RFID及智慧型手機等，發展了一個基於雲端運算之新式無線電力監控系統。本雲端無線電力監控系統包含了以下有別於現有電力監控系統之獨特設計：(1)一個通用的電力監控雲端服務平台，可同時支援不同區域的電力監控應用；(2)一款嵌入式通訊閘道器，用以取代區域監控伺服器，可以節省整體系統建置成本；(3)一種整合無線射頻辨識(RFID)技術之用電監測器，可以自動識別監控對象及設定其功率臨界值；以及(4)一種基於網路服務之推播機制，可即時將包含文字與圖像的警告訊息推播到負責人員之智慧型手機中。最後本研究建置了一個雲端無線電力監控系統雛型，並進行系統整合測試，驗證了本研究所提設計的有效性。相信本論文的研究成果，可以做為發展新一代電力監控系統之有用參考。
Aimed to improve the shortcomings of existing power monitoring systems in system construction, power monitoring device, and warning mechanism, this study combines several hot information and communication technologies, such as cloud computing, embedded gateway, ZigBee wireless sensor network, RFID, and intelligent mobile phone, to develop a cloud-computing-based novel wireless power monitoring system, called CC-based WPMS. Differentiating from existing power monitoring systems, the CC-based WPMS includes the following unique designs: (1) a generic power-monitoring cloud service platform which can simultaneously support power monitoring applications for different regions, (2) an embedded communication gateway which can replace the local monitoring and control server so as to save the overall system construction cost, (3) a RFID-integrated power monitoring device which can automatically identify the target to be monitored and set the power threshold in the power monitoring device for the target accordingly, and (4) a Web-Service-based push mechanism which can promptly push the warning messages containing texts and images to the mobile phones of the person in charge. Finally, a CC-based WPMS prototype is constructed, and the associated integrated tests are conducted. Testing results have validated the efficacy of the designs of this study. It is believed that the research results presented in this thesis can be a useful reference for constructing new-generation power monitoring systems.
