دانلود IoT software infrastructure for Energy Management and Simulation in Smart Cities

Abstract

This  paper  presents  an  IoT  software  infrastructure that enables  energy  management  and  simulation  of  new  control policies  in  a  city  district. The  proposed  platform  enables  the interoperability  and  the  correlation  of  (near-)real-time  building energy  profiles  with  environmental data from  sensors as  well  as building  and grid  models.  In  a  smart  city  context,  this  platform fulfills i) the   integration   of   heterogeneous   data   sources   at building and district level, and  ii)  the  simulation  of novel energy policies at  district  level  aimed  at  the  optimization  of  the  energy usage  accounting  also  for  its  impact  on  building  comfort.  The platform  has  been  deployed  in  a  real  world  district  and  a  novel control  policy  for the heating  distribution  network  has  been developed and tested.  Results are  presented and discussed  in  the paper.
