Smart Buildings Digitalization
Smart buildings are environmentally compliant and will enable people to realize a future low-carbon economy. This, in turn, will pave the way for integrating smart building applications with the information system. Also, smart building applications
demand a multilayer software/hardware feature that contributes to attaining the best service with appreciable energy/cost reduction. Hence, it is crucial to understand and defne the problem and provide intertwined software–hardware solutions.
Robotics has numerous applications in smart buildings. Data centers form a pivotal role in the realization of smart buildings. IoT applications, such as data collection, public parking systems, smart metering, and sanitizer dispenser, are inexhaustible. Electric urban transport systems and effective electric distribution in smart cities are vital parameters of discussion.
The extensive role of power electronics in smart building applications such as electric vehicles, rooftop terracing, and renewable energy integration is discussed. Case studies on automation in smart homes and commercial and offcial buildings are elaborated.
Many electric car charging solutions today are as easy as a car-to-grid link, with nothing else in between to tell either building managers or grid operators who charge when and how much electricity. But as electric cars become more popular, the need for building managers to be able to communicate with AC car chargers will grow as companies and residents try to juggle energy demands. Plug-in electric vehicle (EV) power conditioning system consists of an AC/DC boost rectifer accompanied by an independent DC/DC converter to charge a high-voltage battery bank.
The front-end converter has PFC controller stage and the charger stage; the PFC stage is to enhance the input current quality received from the power supply and the charger stage is designed to energize the battery bank. Figure 1.1 shows the proposed charger for an EV. For the front-end PFC stage, boost converters with interleaving concept are generally used.
