The developing a smart grid control system based on Konnex electrical equipment and internet of things technology

Abstract

In this research, the authors present a method for developing a smart grid control system based on Konnex (KNX) electrical equipment and internet of things (IoT) technology to control and monitoring electrical energy processes such as: voltage, current, frequency, and power for independent or grid-connected power systems in industry and civil use. The system includes: KNX electrical equipment (KNX-connectivity), IoT control board, Solar panels that produce electricity to supply the system, battery storage devices, converters and controllers, power consumption loads, and many measuring, switching and protection devices for the system. With computer control programming devices, software, and control algorithms, access is possible via website, computer, smartphone, iPhone, and iPad. The goal is to monitor electricity and automatically control the smart building system, which is being used for high-end apartment buildings (luxury housing estate); offices, hotels, and garden villas. The system was researched and tested at the practice workshop for industrial factories and enterprises, bringing high results. The system aims to save energy in the context of increasingly depleted fossil energy, both in Vietnam and around the world.
