Relevance of the topic: the topic of the master's thesis, "Enhanced Automated Energy-Saving Subsystem in Heating Systems," is highly relevant in the context of the growing demand for energy-efficient technologies. The continuous increase in energy resource costs and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compel society to optimize energy usage.
Existing heating systems often lack the capability to adapt effectively to changing operating conditions, leading to increased energy consumption and reduced efficiency. The enhanced automated energy-saving subsystem addresses this issue by implementing modern technologies that ensure precise pump control and optimization of the thermal regime. Its relevance is further emphasized by the ability to manage the system remotely, meeting contemporary user demands for convenience and mobility.
