Abstract(s)
No decorrer dos últimos anos, tem-se verificado um aumento significativo de dispositivos e de novas propostas para a implementação de edifícios inteligentes. O contributo deste trabalho é o desenvolvimento (computacional através de ferramentas de programação, e experimental
com a implementação de um protótipo) de uma metodologia de monitorização e controlo
inteligente com o objetivo de acionar um circuito de iluminação utilizando tecnologia sem fios ZigBee, visando a gestão de recursos energéticos no âmbito das redes elétricas inteligentes.
O conceito de rede elétrica inteligente incorpora os benefícios de comunicações avançadas e tecnologias de informação para criar "inteligência" na rede e fornecer informação dos consumos em tempo real.
Nesta dissertação é implementada uma rede de sensores e atuadores capaz de desempenhar
funções de monitorização, recorrendo a componentes de baixo custo e tendo a sua aplicação principal em sistemas de iluminação.
Este trabalho é desenvolvido de forma a demonstrar o uso desta tecnologia, implementando um protótipo capaz de acionar um circuito de atuação e controlo, ligando ou desligando qualquer dispositivo acoplado.
Ainda, é realizada a análise do consumo energético em tempo real de uma habitação durante os três primeiros meses do ano, utilizando um monitor de energia inteligente.
É expectável que esta dissertação possa também contribuir para a gestão da procura de
energia, que irá ser um dos componentes chave das redes elétricas inteligentes.
Over the recent years, there has been a significant increase in devices and new proposals for the implementation of intelligent buildings. The contribution of this work is the development (computational through programming tools, and experimental with the implementation of a prototype) of a monitoring and intelligent control methodology in order to drive a lighting circuit using wireless ZigBee technology, aiming for energy resources management in the context of smart grids. The smart grid concept incorporates the benefits of advanced communications and information technologies to create "intelligence" in the network and provide consumption information in real time. In this dissertation, a network of sensors and actuators is implemented, being able to perform monitoring functions using low cost components and having its principal application in lighting systems. This work is developed to demonstrate the use of this technology by implementing a prototype capable of driving a circuit of operation and control, turning on or off any attached devices. Moreover, the analysis of energy consumption in real time is performed for a home during the first three months of the year, using a smart energy monitor. It is expected that this work can also contribute to demand-side management, which will be a key component of smart grids.
