The increasing trend of people moving to urban areas and the associated urbanization process require facing challenges regarding city infrastructures capability to cover citizens needs for energy, water, transportation, healthcare. education, safety. The smart urban technologies represent an important contribution to the sustainable development of cities, making smart cities a reality. The concept...
Smart Grid is both a concept and a way to mitigate infrastructural Deficiencies and counteract the effects of the growing demand for electrical energy. One of the ways ensuring an increase in power grid's management efficiency is utilization of the latest communication solutions that use of IT technologies. These technologies will help customers and prosumers in the future, in a more efficient management...
In recent decades, there has been an increase in the use of robotics in home automation environments. That, joined to the interest in efficient consumption of energy, is the base of the research exposed next. Nowadays, the increase of robotic systems in human daily activities has facilitated its integration and diversification and, due to this, new needs have come up. An example of this situation...
This paper discusses the viability of using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) transport for Smart Grid signaling. Smart grids will jointly optimize energy production and demand, in a scenario with millions of smart meters and microenergy sources (e.g. solar panels or electric cars). This will place stringent requirements on telco networks. Information technologies will have to provide scalable signaling...
This paper proposes a novel object-based home network middleware for the interoperability among home devices and smart grid devices. This middleware can be adopted by home devices for energy efficient homes.
The recent worldwide measures for energy savings call for a larger awareness of the household energy consumption, given the relevant contribution of domestic load to the national energy balance. On the other hand, electricity smart meters together with gas, heat, and water meters can be interconnected in a large network offering a potential value to implement energy savings and other energy-related...
