Abstract

The energy industry is regarded as a leader in introducing innovations among other industries. Solutions are proposed to reduce energy consumption. The features of energy supply to consumers in difficult conditions of economic, technical and climatic nature are identified, provided that large systems with a high level of complexity of system interconnection are integrated. The main focus is on the use of technology “smart home”. The use of Smart Grid and Smart Home technologies significantly improves the efficiency of business processes, which in turn allows you to more accurately plan energy consumption. Studies have shown that the use of innovative technologies can save up to a third of the energy consumed, but the population has no significant motivation to plan and save energy. However, there is a positive trend in the use of Smart Grid and Smart Home technologies in optimizing the management of business processes by business structures, for example, , in optimizing security tools, managing household engineering systems, etc.
