COMPUTER ENERGY EFFICIENT SYSTEM OF BUILDINGS HEATING AND HOT WATER SUPPLY

Abstract

Development  and  analysis  of  a  computer  remote  control  system  for  heating  and  hot  water supply of premises. Methodology. The methods of comparative analysis, modeling, observation, measurement and research of the electric drive were used in the work. The methods of comparative analysis, modeling, observation, measurement and research of the electric drive were used in the work. Findings.  A  system  for  connecting  a  boiler  between  a  dual-circuit  cauldron  and  users  for  hot  water
supply, as well as a remote computer control system for it, was considered. The design and principle of its action were shown schematically. The principle of the system management program based on the use of sensors was presented.  The  Arduino  microcontroller  receives  and  processes  information  from  sensors,  based  on  which  it automatically  controls  the  heating  system  and  hot  water  supply.  In  addition,  the  processed  information,  by transmitting data to the WEB server, is transmitted to the user's interactive devices, which can remotely check the status of the system and, if necessary, manage it. Remote monitoring and control of high-power equipment is
an important component of its operation, which ensures increased safety of use. Calculations and analysis of costs for natural gas and electricity using the proposed system and without it during the heating period were presented.  An  analysis  of the  data results showed  that the  proposed  system  provides energy efficiency  of  the heating system and hot water supply, and allows reducing the consumption of natural gas and electricity.
Originality.  The  computer  remote  control  system  for  heating  and  hot  water  supply,  which  allows  to reduce energy consumption and the cost of its maintenance, is considered and analyzed. Practical value. The obtained results make it possible to use a more energy-efficient heating and hot water supply system in buildings.
