Digital Technologies for Modernizing Coal-Based Power Systems in Kosovo

Session

Energy Efficiency Engineering

Description

Proper management of electrical energy and its efficient use have gained increasing importance in recent decades due to the growing demand for energy and the need for environmental sustainability. In this context, the development of modern technologies for building automation and energy management has become an essential part of the technological transformations within the energy and construction sectors. This approach not only aims to reduce energy consumption but also contributes to creating a greener and more sustainable environment, while simultaneously enhancing safety, comfort, and control for users. This paper addresses the design and implementation of an intelligent system for energy and home appliance management using KNX technology – an international standard for building automation. The proposed system includes advanced functions such as remote control, real-time monitoring, security management, and optimization of energy consumption in both indoor and outdoor environments. All devices are integrated into a centralized network and can be remotely controlled via mobile devices, offering ease of use, flexibility, and operational efficiency for the end user. The programming will be carried out using the professional ETS 5 software, a standard tool for configuring KNX systems, while the Z41 application will be used for graphical interface and control. The implementation foresees the use of devices from different manufacturers, thereby illustrating the flexible and open nature of the KNX system. Another important aspect addressed in this project is cybersecurity, which is essential due to the interconnection of all devices within digital networks. This paper aims to present a functional and practical model of an integrated energy management system that can be adapted for residential buildings or commercial facilities.
