Sažetak
The upgraded traditional grid, also known as the smart grid that incorporate information and communications tech-nology will not only change the way of producing electricity but it will also change the way of consumption. Demand side management (DSM) in combination with Photovoltaics (PV) and electrical storage is a promising solution for net-zero energy building (NZEB). NZEB will be able to produce energy for its needs and also feed a surplus back to the grid. With scientific papers, it has already been proven that the use of electrical energy storage can improve the power quality and store variable production of renewable energy. Smart meters are a step forward because they enable two-way communication between customer and utility. This way the monitoring of consumption and electricity prices on the market in real time will be possible. Furthermore, this will give the ability to the consumer to turn off devices that are large loads, or let DSM system known as load management to do its job in a way to reduce energy consumption in a given period. DSM will automatically switch off a big load in a manner that does not disturb the comfort of users. Smart appliances at the end - user level such as Internet protocol (IP) addressable appliance controlled by external signals from the utility or end-user will enable load shifting to off-peak periods. Solar radiation is prevalent everywhere and can be used to generate electricity at the point of consumption, thereby reducing the losses in transmission. Only one hour of solar radiation is sufficient to cover the annual consumption ; this shows that the future of low-carbon energy production lies in the use of solar radiation.
