METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING, METERING, AND REGULATING POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

A method and a system for monitoring power consumption are provided. The system comprises a breaker including a server for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters and an active RFID device, and further comprises a device including a client for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters and a passive RFID device, wherein the device is a switch or a receptacle. In the method and the system, the device is registered by the breaker by passing information of the passive RFID device to the active RFID device; the breaker and the devices are connected through Ethernet over a power line. The server is configured to provide a service to the client.
