This article gives a review of modern networking technologies and standards used in the development of distributed control systems. Study of related scientific and professional literature has been performed, and basing on it a multi-level model of digital network structure in the field of small-scale autonomous combined power systems has been proposed. Necessity of integration of autonomous powering into SmartHouse systems and related distributed computing and networking issues are reflected as well. As there is a wide variety of industrial networking standards used, this review covers and groups more frequently used protocols and stacks from the view of OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model and layers of industrial automation. The aim of this article is to give a reference-point in the development of distributed control systems in the field of small-scale autonomous power supply and integration of them in SmartHouse systems.

Systainable energy systems and food security can be obtained in rural areas by usage of renewable energy resources and development of agro-ecotechnologies. Substitution of fossil feedstock for energy and raw materials by biomass is important measure also for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation. The article presents investigation of reed biomass size reduction processes flattening and cutting. The necessity to reduce the size of common reeds (Phragmites australis) to particles smaller than 3 mm for solid biofuel production is determined by compaction properties of biomass. It was stated that unflattened reed stem cutting energy consumption is 2 times more than flattened stem cutting energy. There are no sufficient differences in the energy consumption values for single flattened reed stalk cutting with different shaped knives. The average difference is approximately 2.4 kJ square m with knife edge angles 90 deg and 20 deg.
