IntroductionAs human population, new technologies, and infrastructures continue to grow, there isa proportional increase in the demand for energy need. Currently, most energy in theUnited States is produced by fossil fuels. For the last century, petroleum, natural gas,and coal had accounted for at least 80% of the total U.S. energy consumption.[1]However, burning fossil fuels produces pollutants and heat-trapping gases

monitor daily electricity consumption has becomeincreasingly important with the ever growing demands for energy. Monitoring and quantifyingpower consumption enables engineers to notice problems with systems while in operation, andalso better plan future systems from the data gathered. As a result, power quality (PQ)measurement concepts are evolving from instantaneous metering to continuous monitoring andrecent developments in measurement technology make PQ monitoring systems more powerful.This equates to the construction and utilization of more flexible, compact and intelligent PQsystems.The goal of this project was to design, construct and test a monitoring system that is cost-effective, reliable and easily deployable in any environment.

While each student had a primary team responsibility, they werealso required to work across team boundaries to ensure integrated and realistic solutions emergedfrom their efforts. The ASU team initially met with students and faculty from the KwameNkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana, a partneruniversity with ASU in this study.

Theprocess, from degradation to gas production is called anaerobic digestion. This anaerobicdigestion occurs naturally in wetland, Lake Bottom and deep landfills. An experimentaldigestor was built that converts cow manure and agricultural waste into methane-richbiogas that can be used as alternate energy resources to generate electricity or thermalenergy. The research in this study focuses on the feasibility of the design of anoperational digestor, the monitoring and control of the different biodegradation processvariables and experiments to boost or maximize the gas production; and the analysis
