PolyU's "Smart" Power Supply System with Round-the-clock Monitoring to Ensure Stability
Universities can shape the future of a city. It is not only responsible for nurturing talents and developing new technologies, but also provides room for large-scale experiments on new concepts, paving the way for their wider use in the future. In this regard, the team led by Professor Joseph Lai from the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), in collaboration with PolyU's Campus Facilities and Sustainability Office (CFSO), has introduced a fibre-optic temperature sensing system for Communal Building’s power supply system as part of a pilot project. Through this 24/7 smart monitoring system, it is hoped to enhance the stability of the campus’ power supply.
