Abstract

In this study, it has been discussed methodically the control system of energy consumption from the power grid, generating electric energy on a seasonal basis (winter) heat load (thermocouples) and the utility of a set of renewable energy (solar photovoltaic, wind turbines and ground source heat pumps). It has also been taken into account the significant difference of energy network day and night consumption tariffs, seasonal heating load changes, solar insolation, and wind speeds. It has been figured out that the combined system of power supply at home, using the possibilities of the power system for the accumulation of excess renewable energy sources during the summer months, we can substantially simplify and reduce the cost of energy. The ability to use modern energy-saving equipment to simplify and reduce the consumer source system has been demonstrated. As well the new criteria for system optimization based on value analysis, the algorithm of complex consumer source control to implement a minimum cost supply at home, developed implementation flowchart of this algorithm based on modern microprocessor technology have been pointed out.
