“…The PLC technology is an excellent solution widely studied and analysed by researchers, even in areas characterized by strict requirements, such as industries. Its reliability has been investigated and verified taking into consideration different aspects, in order to optimize the use and the performance depending on the specific environment (Sutterlin and Downey 1998;Collotta and Tirrito 2014). In our experiment, the PLC technology is used as one of the communication channels.…”

The street lighting is one of major components in total energy consumption in cities. The paper is focused on a concept of street lamp control systems and function organization with remote monitoring, to reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption. A new approach to the definition of functional strategy organization for outdoor lighting systems is introduced in the paper. Proposed functional strategies are based on four efficiency classes of building automation and control systems (BACS) defined in the EN 15323 standard. They have been formulated, analysed and eventually implemented and verified in real experiment street lighting installation. This outdoor lighting system, designed by the authors, based on LonWorks (the ISO/IEC EN 14908) platform with a power line communication aimed to control high-pressure sodium lamps. The street lamps are integrated nodes of a building management system (BMS). The results of experimental tests for the proposed functional strategies, implemented with various control scenarios, show that they provide a great potential in reducing energy consumption by street lighting installations. In particular, the energy use can be reduced even by 45 % in comparison to conventional street lighting system, especially without the use of monitoring and control.

“…With Technical Building Management (TBM) functions, the BACS provide effective control and monitoring of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), cooling, hot water, lighting and energy sources. However, the BACS with TBM have an impact not only comfort and safety in buildings, but on their energy performance as well [4,19,[27][28][29][30]. With the BACS and TBM as well as a new Internet of Things (IoT) technology which is considered as one of new communication standards in the BACS, all of the aforesaid equipment and subsystems could be easily integrated into the active DSM, providing new features and possibility to build fully integrated, flexible and adaptive structure to manage energy in the PMG.…”

Abstract:Energy efficient prosumer microgrids (PMGs) with active and flexible demand side management (DSM) mechanisms are considered to be crucial elements of future smart grids. Due to an increasing share of renewable energy and the growing power demand, appropriate tools to manage not only the loads but also small generation units, heating and cooling systems, storage units and electric vehicles should be provided for them. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative approach to both physical and logical organization of an active DSM system for future building-integrated prosumer microgrids (BIPMGs), based on standard building automation and control systems (BACS) as well as Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. New event-triggered control functions with developed universal, logical interfaces for open BACS and IoT network nodes are presented and their implementation in smart metering as well as fully integrated energy management mechanisms is analyzed. Finally, potential energy efficiency improvements with proposed BACS functions are discussed, based on BACS efficiency requirements defined in the EN 15232 standard.
