Web-Enabled Utility Meter Interface

2000

This article presents an utility meter reading interface application using the Internet as a transmission medium. For energy meters, pulses for every quarter of an hour are counted on a local microcontroller and stored on a EEPROM memory, all demand data being transmitted to the energy dispatcher control unit via the Internet communication embedded microcontroller. We used a combination of

Architecture of web services interface for a Home Energy Management system

This paper proposes a web-based architecture to enable information retrieval and appliance management for a Home Energy Management (HEM) system. With the proposed architecture, homeowners can monitor their basic energy usage information, and can perform necessary appliance management based on their pre-defined load priority, preferences, and comfort settings. The proposed architecture is designed based on the Standard Energy Usage Information (PAP10), which ensures interoperability among smart grid equipment. It is also designed with comprehensive security measures. It is expected that the proposed architecture can serve as a reference model for custom hardware designs and implementation of a real time, lightweight and reliable embedded web server for HEM applications in the smart grid environment.

Smart meters using the Architecture of Future Internet

2015 IEEE Eindhoven PowerTech, 2015

This article presents software framework that integrates Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) components in the context of Cloud-based Service-Oriented Architecture made available by the Future Internet Public-Private-Partnership. Authors used standard DLMS-COSEM interoperability protocol to convey metering datasets to the FI-WARE cloud. Newly developed framework supports timer-driven metering schemes from the known art. Additionally, it is fully compatible with the new coarse-grained method of analytical accounting of energy.

SESAME: Semantic Smart Metering - Enablers for Energy Efficiency

The high-level societal goal of the project SESAME is to facilitate home owners and building managers in saving energy within their environments and in optimizing their energy costs, while actively controlling and maintaining their preferred quality of living. To achieve this goal, we design a technical solution that integrates smart metering and building automation in order to offer energy-optimization capability for both the energy consumer and provider.

Exploiting Demand Response in Web-based Energy-aware Smart Homes

2011

Energy conservation is a global issue with tremendous environmental implications. By 2030, the global energy demand will double. High energy demands and environmental concerns, force the transformation of electricity grids into smart grids, towards more rational utilization of energy. Residential smart metering transforms homes into energy-aware environments, allowing residents to make informed choices about electricity. Web-based smart homes employ Web principles to interconnect electrical appliances. The Web, as a highly ubiquitous and scalable platform, can be used to connect energy-aware smart homes to the smart grid. An important characteristic of the future grid is demand response, defined as real-time pricing, according to supply conditions. Energy-aware smart homes can exploit this capability to schedule electricity-related tasks for future execution. We investigate this possibility by deploying a Webbased, energy-aware smart home, adapted to demand response. An initial technical study denotes the feasibility of our approach and a small survey indicates the potential for saving energy and money.

Communications for AnyPLACE: A smart metering platform with management and control functionalities

2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016

Recent developments under the term Smart Grid change how users consume electricity and interact with the power grid. Smart metering and energy management are developments that transform the yet passive energy consumer to a participant that is actively involved in the energy market by using variable energy tariffs or by demand-response services. But such functionality demands a platform that integrates all smart devices in the users property, connects to external services and electricity providers, and has interfaces that provide information and control to the user. AnyPLACE will develop such platform. Based on the latest legislation in the European member states, it will incorporate smart meters and create links to external service providers. Furthermore, it connects the devices in the property of the end-user in order to be able to fully monitor and control the energy consumption. This paper presents the AnyPLACE idea and the problems that are solved on the communications aspect. It provides an in-depth analysis of current European legislation in the context of smart metering and provides the requirements that need to be realized by the platform. Additionally, it proposes a strategy to create a solution that can be used in any place of Europe. The paper also incorporates the security and privacy requirements in different domains and sketches a solution and architecture to fulfill these by incorporating existing open source implementations as provided by the openHAB project.

Web Services for Energy Management in a Smart Grid Environment

2015

Smart grid is an emerging technology that aims to empower the current power grid with the integration of two-way communication and computer technology. This thesis deals with energy management in smart grid with focus on the smart home and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The smart home contains a network that connects home elements like smart appliances, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), thermostat, smart meter, sensors, solar panels and energy storage. ITS integrates computer and communication technologies for advanced traffic management and communication among road infrastructure, vehicles and users.

The internet of energy: a web-enabled smart grid system

IEEE Network, 2000

Abstract The quest for sustainable energy models is the main factor driving research on smart grid technology. SGs represent the bridging paradigm to enable highly efficient energy production, transport, and consumption along the whole chain, from the source to the user. Although this concept promises to be very fruitful, the research on how to deploy it in the real world has just begun. A discussion on the enabling technologies for SGs and a possible roadmap for the profitable evolution thereof is the focus of this article. After introducing the ...
