To use a microcontroller in a small energy powerplant management

摘要

Because of the increasing awareness that the energy market can help to prevent or combat global heating, it's crucial to curb the energy consumption controlled. This paper discusses the development - step by step - of a home management system in order to decrease the energy intensity of a dwelling. The application is based on the model of a house with renewable sources: PV-panels, a solar collector and a windmill. The house is supposed to be self-providing in electricity because of its battery packet. Six temperatures and two voltages are measured and get processed in the microcontroller of a development board, via a self-made program written in MikroBasic PRO, in order to make a good energy policy. In total 17 actuators are controlled. The actual values are written to an SD-card every 15 minutes. Afterwards these values can be analysed on a PC (Excel) in order to improve the algorithm of the energy policy.
