Using artificial intelligence for energy management in smart buildings

This master’s thesis deals with the problem of home energy and energy management in the house using artificial intelligence algorithms. Its objective is to analyse the available energy resources on a small and medium scale, including resources that are currently under research with a future perspective. Additionally, its objective is to explore the field of artificial intelligence and its application in the energy sector, to develop a design for a home photovoltaic power plant and to design a control algorithm with artificial intelligence elements. As a result of the thesis, the research analyses energy resources, fundamental types of artificial intelligence and specific applications of artificial intelligence in the energy sector. The work includes the design of the electrical installation of a home photovoltaic power plant. In the thesis was developed an overview of the requirements for energy management algorithms for buildings. Based on this overview, a control algorithm was designed. Within the design of the algorithm was applied neural networks as artificial intelligence elements
