Development of a smart energy management system based on Plus-Energy-Houses

摘要

Rising energy prices, the finiteness of resources and harmful effects on the environment require a more efficient use of energy in the future. In the construction and housing sector, the technology of the so-called "plus-energy house" can make a major contribution to more efficient energy use. As part of an educational project, different partners from industry and craftsmanship create a sustainable school building which meets the demands of a plus-energy-house. The building produces a majority of its required energy by using a PV system. An intelligent energy management system monitors all consumers and distributes the energy so that a minimum of energy is used from the energy provider's grid. A special control system ensures good air quality and comfortable temperatures in the building. In the future, the building shall prove its concept in everyday school life and not only fulfill the required climatic conditions, but also set standards in terms of energy efficiency.
