Energy efficiency is an important part of the EU’s ambition to transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Greater energy efficiency will be needed in the future if the EU is to achieve this goal. All sectors of the economy have the potential to contribute to energy efficiency. Consistent energy management helps organisations realise untapped energy efficiency potential. In this way, they will benefit from cost savings and make a significant contribution to protecting the environment and climate by reducing harmful emissions and carbon footprints. This study aims to analyse the potential opportunities for businesses to realise savings, gain competitive advantages and achieve sustainable development and a positive image.

The article presents an intelligent energy guardian for a polygeneration device. The proposed solution aims to optimize energy usage and minimize wastage by incorporating smart control algorithms that continuously monitor and adjust the energy flow between different subsystems of the device. The energy guardian utilizes machine learning techniques to learn the device’s energy usage patterns and adapt to changing conditions, such as varying energy demands and supply constraints. The article outlines the design and implementation of the energy guardian, and presents experimental results that demonstrate its effectiveness in improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. Overall, the intelligent energy guardian offers a promising solution for enhancing the performance of polygeneration devices and promoting sustainable energy use.
