Measurement of Power Consumption of Appliances in an Economy Hotel : Part 1-Monitoring and Analysis of Electric Consumption in Winter

Abstract

In this work, the electricity consumption patterns of an economy hotel are investigated. Automatic monitoring of consumed electricity was carried out every 30 minutes. Also, temperature and humidity were measured every 10 minutes. It was found that the average power consumption of an occupied room was about 5.3kWh, while that of vacant rooms was about 1.1kWh. The electricity consumption of the air conditioner accounted for about 56% of the total used electricity. It was also found that the average temporal consumption variation has two modes peaked at about 10:30PM and 7:00AM.
