Abstract:
This paper describes an approach to minimize the uneven effect of voltage and power in smart buildings and on electrical networks. The idea is to analyze and improve the voltage variation in intelligent buildings and in electrical networks. In a second step, the actual power consumption and power reserves of selected Smart Homes is calculated and regulated by a control application using Next Generation Network technology. In the last step, stationary storages for improving the stability of the smart systems are discussed and evaluated. The analysis is performed by considering multiple scenarios in smart power grids. We consider intelligent buildings (Smart Homes) based on Next Generation Network components. These components are applied as a communication and integration platform between the smart phones of the Smart Home owners and the building control system, as well as the energy supplier of the smart power grid. The Session Initiation Protocol and the Presence Service are used to build a performant and scalable system based on open source software. The Smart Home appliances are based on the KNX bus, a secure and trustful architecture by which the user can remotely monitor and control his house or facility from anywhere in the world.
