Residential Energy Monitoring Systems with PV Integration for Smart Solutions

Le résumé fourni par la source

The relevant integration of distributed renewable energy sources, particularly residential photovoltaic (PV) systems, is accelerating the transformation of modern power systems. In this context, the ability to monitor, manage, and optimize energy flows at the household level becomes critical-not only for improving energy efficiency but also for enabling active participation in emerging smart grid services. However, current practices for monitoring small to medium-scale photovoltaic installations (typically 15 to 100 kW), especially in residential and tertiary buildings, often rely on manual or fragmented approaches that do not capture the full potential of these systems. This paper investigates the integration of smart home energy monitoring platforms, such as Home Assistant, into residential environments with PV generation, highlighting their ability to collect high-resolution, real-time data, support automation, and interface with a wide range of devices and inverters. These systems are fundamental in enabling local demand response, facilitating user awareness, and ultimately participating in community-scale energy management schemes. The work also explores how such platforms can serve as the basis for future aggregator frameworks by providing the infrastructure to measure, predict, and adjust household energy consumption dynamically. By enhancing observability and control, residential energy monitoring systems with integrated PV play a key role in advancing the flexibility and resilience of decentralized energy systems.
