Abstract<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since there is an recognizable increase in energy demand and a growing importance of the role of
\ndecentral and renewable energy generation, intelligent energy management gains more importance
\nnot only for the power grid but also for the end-user\u2019s households. Therefore, additionally to prediction
\nsystems on the level of high voltage power grids, a reliable prediction of energy consumption as well
\nas energy production in households, will play a central role, so that in the end it is possible to utilize
\nthe available energy in an optimal and economic way. Smart meter and variable tariff models are only
\nthe very first steps towards time and energy-availability dependent tariff plans. On the one hand, to
\nuse electrical energy in times when it is available in excess, is in favour of the power grid operator
\nbecause the grid could be significantly relieved. On the other hand, to save explicitly energy in times
\nof high energy demands is also in favour of the consumer who could save real money. Therefore, it will
\nbe necessary in close future, to use the potentials of intelligent integration of renewable energies in
\nan optimal way, no matter if the electrical energy prices are currently low, or self-produced electrical
\nsolar power from the rooftop will be used. This master thesis has the objective to concept and engineer
\na device which can be optically well integrated into the living room with an user-friendly handling
\nwhich the user is familiar with from modern smart phones and tablets. Moreover, the device should
\nreach an artificial intelligence with which it should be able to learn the user\u2019s habits to eventually utilize
\nmost efficiently the available electrical energy, preferable from renewable energy sources. With the
\nuse of the latest cutting-edge technologies and concepts, regarding software and hardware, it should
\nbe possible without any restrictions to interconnect existing as well as future home automation
\ntechnologies with the developed device. In the end, these technologies and the developed device
\nshould help the consumer to efficiently reduce the cost for electrical energy. The required hardware,
\nthe so-called Smart Energy Manager, should be drafted and realized as part of this thesis. Furthermore,
\nthe device itself should be proofed with all applicable standards to translate the prototype hardware
\ninto a series product later on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
