Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) facilitate enormous applications in the field of habitat monitoring, disaster management, security, military, etc. Sensor Nodes are very tiny in size and that leads to limited processing power and battery capacity. Resource constrained nature of sensors makes them extremely vulnerable to failures. Moreover, mobility management is an important parameter that affects...
This paper describes the implementation of a supervisory framework for monitoring and verification of energy resources compatible with a standardized energy management system, including energy use and consumption requirements, as well as documentation, communication, best practices of project, equipment procurement, systems, processes and human resources involved in energy performance. The strategy...
Currently, in the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) there is a novel strategy to experiment from the human centric perspective whereby the users are the owners of the rules operating smart things. As members of an IoT ecosystem, users inform about their needs and desires, and provide feedback within a networked intelligence to jointly improve their individual ability to rule the actuators of...
The monitoring and targeting methodology consists of a systematic approach on energetic resources use in order to achieve the best economic result. This paper shows an overview of a framework for an automated energy monitoring and targeting system which is compatible with the standardized energy management platform (ISO50001). In order to aggregate all tools associated to this scenario, this paper...
This paper will discuss how new developments in process instrumentation and analytic technologies can provide solutions for optimization of production processes, improvement of asset management and will lead to: - Reduction of unscheduled production downtime and maintenance costs - Reduction of Total Costs of Ownership (TCO) - Improvement of production quality - Improvement of production quantity...
For people improving the energy-saving performances of buildings, the applications of information communication, computer network, automation control and etc. are the current building energy-saving technologies. They form with a serial of technique measures for buildings with energy management systems running implementation and intelligent monitoring. This paper introduces and analyzes the information...
There is a growing interest towards the development of the Smart Grid. Even though the Smart Grid offers many advantages for the connection of renewable energy sources while providing the efficient operation of the power grid, there are many gray areas which delay its realization. It is recognized that the early realization of the Smart Grid requires standards and regulations that ensures interoperability,...
Research and development in the field of “smart grids” is advancing at an ever expanding rate, with an increasing number of industry participants and other key constituents internationally, including government entities and educational institutions. It is vital to understand the approaches being taken by these various entities in order to determine the optimal method by which to proceed with defining...
The field of production monitoring can be considered as an ideal entry point for SoA-based systems in the production process. A study of a modern, state-of-the-art production monitoring system was performed at Ford Motor Company in order to ascertain the functionality currently offered by the system, as well as the user requirements coming from the system integrators. This paper discusses how the...
As environmental concerns and energy consumption continue to increase, utilities are looking at cost effective strategies for improved network operation and consumer consumption. Smart grid is a collection of next generation power delivery concepts that includes new power delivery components, control and monitoring throughout the power grid and more informed customer options. This session will cover...
