Abstract
The rapid growth of data centers and the increasing demand for the efficient power management have highlighted the limitations of traditional PDU. Current PDU lack remote control and monitoring capabilities, and integration with IoT cause to poor power usage. The main objectives of this study are to develop an IoT based PDU by designing and implementing a smart PDU with an integrated sensor module, PZEM-004t instead of using a standalone module to reduce overall size of the system and to develop an interface system for remote monitoring and control of the PDU. This study involves hardware design, software development, and testing. The hardware design steps involve selecting and integrating the suitable components to develop the system such as PZEM-004t sensor, Tmega328p microcontroller, and CP2102 USB-to UART communication module. A simulation-based project is conducted using NI Multisim software to test the circuit design before printing the system on a PCB. For the software development, the firmware for the control and monitoring system is created using Arduino IDE. Lastly, the system to tested to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the IoT based PDU. The analysis of this studies, PDU system can compacted into desired size of the board, and the system can have serial communication with the connected PDU for the control and monitoring features. The development of an IoT-based PDU helps data center management by providing an efficient solution for control and monitoring.
