Temperature Responsive Monitoring System for Smarter Energy Consumption in Data Centers

Alexandre da Silva Rodrigues, Marcos Roberto dos Santos, Thaísa Leal da Silva, Lauro André Ribeiro

Abstract


The need for energy savings in companies, especially in developing countries, encouraged the execution of this study, which presents an analysis of how the integration of free software and hardware with sensors can monitor and manage electric energy consumption in a responsive thermal system in a Data Center. In this way, the developed system can reduce energy input costs and improve the availability of the services offered by the Data Processing Center. The experiment was made using a temperature sensor, a non-invasive current sensor, Arduino Uno, Raspberry PI and Zabbix. Therefore, using the proposed system, it was possible to save an average of 20% of energy in a monitored environment when compared to an uncontrolled environment.
