Analysis of Energy Consumption for Cost Saving Efficiency of Electric Energy use at PLN Belakang Padang using Internet of Thinks (IOT) Technology

Abstract

Electrical energy consumption at PLN Belakang Padang is in the wasteful category, this can be seen from the building which is inefficient and wasteful and the calculation of the intensity energy consumption of 18,19 KWh / m² / month which is included in the wasteful category. the purpose of this study is to upgrade the technology by using an electricity monitoring tool using the technology of thought and the Blynk platform in order to monitor remotely. as well as analyzing energy saving opportunities. the energy saving opportunities carried out are reducing the air conditioner temprature to 24 - 27℃ and reducing the duration of AC 1, 2 PK, and computer usage by 1-2 hours. after implementing for 2 months the intensity energy consumption behind the field became 15,06 KWh/m²/month which fell into the efficient category with an increase in profit of 17%.
