Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Due to increasing energy costs, as well as strict environmental regulations, there is a growing need for greater resource efficiency, which makes energy-efficient solutions necessary. Thus, the importance of innovations based on technologies designed to save energy, such as the Smart Grid, is increasing. Smart Grid is not just a compilation of smart meters or other electrical devices, it is a series of technologies, a concept of a fully integrated, self-regulating and self-healing power grid, which has a network topology and includes all sources of generation, transmission and distribution, managed by a single network of information and control devices and systems.METHODS. As the main method used was the calculation of the synthetic balance of savings from the use of different types of energy resources by the university after the implementation of the application Smart Grid-energy conservation management on the basis of the university energy-innovation Hub of knowledge.FINDINGS. A mechanism for the implementation of the Smart Grid energy-saving management application on the basis of the university energy-innovation Knowledge Hub is proposed. Smart Grid is designed to provide real-time data on the almost instantaneous balance of energy supply and demand. To ensure grid reliability by reducing peak demands and improving energy efficiency, Smart Grid data management is an affordable and effective tool for data analysis and decision making.CONCLUSION. The results of calculation of the predicted effect of the Smart Grid application implementation for the 4th building of Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design proved that the reduction of installed capacity as a result of the project was 80.5%, i.e. a 1% reduction in capacity creates an economic effect of 0.58% of the costs associated with modernization. Given the current level of electricity consumption, we can predict a potential reduction of 951 thousand UAH per year or almost 50% of the cost of electricity consumed in 2020.

Highlights

  • Energy and resource saving is one of the important tasks in modern production and public policy of many countries (Di Stefano, 2000)

  • According to the state program of Ukraine "Energy saving and increasing of energy efficiency for the period up to 2030" the following barriers hindering the development of energy saving and energy efficiency in the country can be identified, which are represented as four groups of factors: - lack of motivation; - lack of information;; - lack of experience in financing projects; - lack of organization and coordination

  • Smart Grid platform for further implementation, including: - flexible, optimal and strategically rational development of unified energy systems and management of its functioning; - flexible management of electricity consumption, active on the consumer side; - targeted provision of power quality and reliability of power supply for specific power consumers; - coordination of local control systems and complete integration of renewable power sources and distributed generation in unified energy systems; - extensive development of small dispersed generation that connects near consumers; - harmonization of legislation to ensure cross-border trade in electricity and electric power services

Summary

Introduction

Energy and resource saving is one of the important tasks in modern production and public policy of many countries (Di Stefano, 2000). In energy management the issues of energy efficiency are considered from the standpoint of technical aspects of energy supply and energy saving, and from the standpoint of organizational, motivational, informational, marketing and investment aspects (Fig. 1) These aspects, along with technical issues, are the components of energy management (Shcherbak et al, 2019). To ensure of innovations based on technologies grid reliability by reducing peak demands designed to save energy, such as the and improving energy efficiency, Smart. The results of integrated, self-regulating and self-healing calculation of the predicted effect of the power grid, which has a network topology Smart Grid application implementation and includes all sources of generation, for the 4th building of Kyiv National transmission and distribution, managed by University of Technologies and Design a single network of information and proved that the reduction of installed control devices and systems
