Abstract
Description
Este documento presenta el concepto de un hogar inteligente, sus componentes y sus aplicaciones desde el punto de vista de ahorro y gestión energética, describiendo las características y el funcionamiento de la sub-medición por circuito y el conmutador inteligente de potencia, al igual que su integración con el hogar inteligente. Asimismo, se muestra la reglamentación y normativa colombiana que promueve el uso racional y eficiente de energía, la utilización de fuentes no convencionales de energía eléctrica y los primeros pasos hacia la implementación de las redes inteligentes en Colombia. De igual forma, se presenta la topología e implementación de un sistema de distribución residencial, el cual permite controlar el flujo de energía entre diferentes fuentes de energía y las cargas de una vivienda. Finalmente, se analiza el comportamiento de la tensión en las cargas ante diferentes escenarios de conexión, observando la importancia de realizar adecuadamente las conmutaciones en el IPS.
This paper introduces the concept of Smart Home, its components and applications in terms of saving and energy management, describing the characteristics and the operation of the sub-metering by circuit and the intelligent power switch, as well as its integration with the smart home. In addition to that, the regulation and Colombian legislation that promotes the rational and efficient use of energy, the use of non-conventional sources of electricity and the first steps towards the implementation of smart grids in Colombia, are exposed. This research presents the topology and the implementation of a residential distribution system, which allows controlling the energy flow through different energy sources and housing loads. Finally, the behavior of voltage in the loads in different connection scenarios is analyzed, stressing the importance of the appropriate realization of commutations at the IPS.
