To support the Demand Response features of the Smart MV/LV-station a bidirectional communication link is established between the station and individual home appliances, such as Combined Heat Power Systems (CHP) or Photo Voltaic cells (PV). This communication link can be made by connection an appropriate smart metering system with a Home Automation system. Measured values are amongst other CHP state, room temperature, heat buffer temperature and current PV power output.


XanuraHome Control Box, used for communication with home appliances

In this project, in each of controlled houses the XanuraHome system is installed including the XanuraHome Control Box (HCB). The XanuraHome system is especially designed for private consumers. It is easy to install in both new and existing buildings. Phase and neutral are used for communication over the lighting network. By fitting transmitting and receiving components as interface to the individual home appliances, commands can be sent from the XanuraHome Control Box over the existing lighting network anywhere in the house.
