In tier II cities of India, multi storied buildings with 3–6 floors provide residence to major groups of occupational communities. In such buildings, water pumping and distribution amongst the residents and segregating the electricity bills employed for water pumping is a real challenge. This issue exists because smart metering of water supply has not yet been implemented in tier 2 cities. Further, this challenge is also present in well-existing multi storied buildings of tier I cities. This issue is addressed in this paper by design and development of a control, monitoring mechanism. Proposed model is designed to critically distribute the energy bills of a single water pump for individuals in multi-storied buildings with multi-tank systems. Water tank level monitoring system is used to sort out the issues associated with overfilling of water tanks and thereby preventing water wastage. Further, energy consumption accounting is achieved with Arduino-LCD interface application to control contractors and auxiliary relays based on valve positions of the resident’s tank. The resident’s tank filling is initiated when water is below threshold point and energy consumption is accounted for in the respective line connected to the tenant’s meter. The proposed miniature model is developed and analyzed with detailed tests on various constraints of valve position, water level and motor switching status. Test results revealed the successful operation of the proposed concept for multi storied buildings. It is concluded that the proposed model will be boon for all preexisted buildings used for renting to multiple tenants.

摘要

In tier II cities of India, multi storied buildings with 3–6 floors provide residence to major groups of occupational communities. In such buildings, water pumping and distribution amongst the residents and segregating the electricity bills employed for water pumping is a real challenge. This issue exists because smart metering of water supply has not yet been implemented in tier 2 cities. Further, this challenge is also present in well-existing multi storied buildings of tier I cities. This issue is addressed in this paper by design and development of a control, monitoring mechanism. Proposed model is designed to critically distribute the energy bills of a single water pump for individuals in multi-storied buildings with multi-tank systems. Water tank level monitoring system is used to sort out the issues associated with overfilling of water tanks and thereby preventing water wastage. Further, energy consumption accounting is achieved with Arduino-LCD interface application to control contractors and auxiliary relays based on valve positions of the resident’s tank. The resident’s tank filling is initiated when water is below threshold point and energy consumption is accounted for in the respective line connected to the tenant’s meter. The proposed miniature model is developed and analyzed with detailed tests on various constraints of valve position, water level and motor switching status. Test results revealed the successful operation of the proposed concept for multi storied buildings. It is concluded that the proposed model will be boon for all preexisted buildings used for renting to multiple tenants.
