This study introduces the development of a user-friendly and quite effective energy monitoring system installed in the building of School Engineering at the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro since 2008. The metering and control software, that processes and analyzes the digitalized signals, has been developed in Integrated Development Environment (IDE) primarily MonoDevelop designed for C#, under the Linux embedded server operating system with a real time kernel. This system allows the measurement of the electric energy parameters of within a building, where the main power source has been divided into several sections for individual analysis. Measuring electric energy in sections allows the identification of higher consumption areas, the detection of abnormal conditions in voltage and current of the building. The consumption of electric energy parameters are displayed by means of an easily understood graphic interface which can be consulted via the Internet. Users who know exactly when energy consumption occurs and where it takes place are able to take more informed decisions about how to lower their energy consumption

The development of HTS superconductor motors has been focused on the traditional construction, mainly in the magnetic field in radial flux configuration like the traditional electrical motors, for this reason the design and construction of superconductor machines in axial magnetic flux configuration are a new alternative for the development of the HTS superconductor motors. In this work, calculations for design and optimization of a superconductor biphasic induction motor in axial flux configuration are presented. The motor construction was made with BSCCO-2223 tape, its respected electrical evaluation and results are presented in geometries of 4, 6, and 8 poles in an ironless stator. A wound rotor was made with BSCCO tapes in order to test within the stators superconductor developed. The optimization of rotor tests was carried out at the beginning with aluminum rotors. After that, some wound superconductor rotors were constructed on a flat squirrel cage configuration for evaluation with superconductor stators.
