Building management system for distribution control center

As the complexity and the type of electrical applications perpetually expands, monitor and control will require new systems are based on some features in such feature of self-powered and distantly management. Building management systems (BMSs) are developed as efficient solutions for users to controls and monitor electronic devices. BMS is a method especially developed to monitor environmental events such as temperature, fire and humidity in the computer server room and to warn the operator in case of fire or if the temperature and humidity values exceed the specified threshold level. A BMS uses some inexpensive sensors and real-time modules to generate advance information about the climate inside the space that needs to be remotely controlled. In this thesis, a building management system for a computer server room has been developed using inexpensive sensors, prototyping cards and mini-computers. Raspberry Pi used as a mini computer has been utilized to collect information from sensors in the server room or data center and transfer them to the receiving side via ZigBee wireless modules. The Arduino prototyping card has been used to process the sensor data transmitted wirelessly from the server room and actuate the actuators such as ventilation fans and switches. The developed BMS has been tested under critical environmental conditions to evaluate its performance. Experimental results showed that the BMS performs robustly and precisely even in extremely unwanted conditions
