Book Nanogrids  Microgrids  and the Internet of Things  IoT

Download or read book Nanogrids Microgrids and the Internet of Things IoT written by Antonio Moreno-Munoz and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by new regulations, new market structures, and new energy resources, the smart grid has been the trigger for profound changes in the way that electricity is generated, distributed, managed, and consumed. The smart grid has raised the traditional power grid by using a two-way electricity and information flow to create an advanced, automated power supply network. However, these pioneering smart grid technologies must grow to adapt to the demands of the current digital society. In today’s digital landscape, we can access feasible data and knowledge that were merely inconceivable. This Special Issue aims to address the landscape in which smart grids are progressing, due to the advent of pervasive technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT). It will be the advanced exploitation of the massive amounts of data generated from (low-cost) IoT sensors that will become the main driver to evolve the concept of the smart grid, currently focused on infrastructure, towards the digital energy network paradigm, focused on service. Furthermore, collective intelligence will improve the processes of decision making and empower citizens. Original manuscripts focusing on state-of-the-art IoT networking and communications, M2M communications, cyberphysical system architectures, big data analytics or cloud computing applied to digital energy platforms, including design methodologies and practical implementation aspects, are welcome.

Book Managing Off grid Power Use for Solar Fueled Residences with Smart Appliances  Prices to devices and IoT

Download or read book Managing Off grid Power Use for Solar Fueled Residences with Smart Appliances Prices to devices and IoT written by Donnelle Lezaldy January and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity availability has a profound impact in day to day life. Activities such as lighting homes, charging cellphones, and running appliances all depend on electricity use. Around 1 billion people around the world do not have access to electricity, and the majority of these people hail from developing countries in remote areas. Moreover, many of these remote areas lack utility grid access due to the infeasible cost of extending the grid to remote communities. To combat this, various projects on microgrids have been implemented in order to distribute power to these off-grid areas. Nanogrids are defined as “a single domain for voltage, price, reliability, quality, and administration.” These nanogrids are small microgrids that supply electricity to small remote buildings, given a limited electricity supply. Furthermore, nanogrids provide electricity to remote areas in order to increase the livelihood of people living in these unfavorable conditions. In this thesis, a new method is introduced to nanogrids using a locally determined price shared with devices with a goal to match electricity demand to locally generated supply to reduce the number of blackouts while maximining quality of experience in a nanogrid system. This thesis provides a review of current rural electrification projects done in developing countries, specifically remote areas in Africa and Asia. A series of algorithms is introduced that sets the price for available electricity use in a household, controlling the power consumption of electrical devices. The topics of Internet of Things (IoT), prices to devices and smart appliances are covered in enabling and implementing the proposed algorithms. A simulation model considers various parameters, including the battery charge and discharge rate, weather forecast, time of day, and time of year with respect to price allocation and power consumption. Simulation results display that the nanogrid paradigm using the controlled price algorithm eliminates the occurrence of blackouts in the rainy season with a reduced battery size (the worst case scenario) as compared to the nanogrid paradigm without price control. The outcome of this simulation suggests that the distribution of power using price control levels off the electricity demand with supply and allows for smaller battery and smaller solar panels all the while maintaining a high quality of experience. It shows that a remote household using an off-grid system, with control of electricity use through pricing given a limited power supply, can effectively allocate electricity use and match electricity supply with demand. This reduces the occurrence of unwanted blackouts, positively influencing the economical aspect of remote areas with respect to electricity access in developing countries.

Book Digitising the Industry Internet of Things Connecting the Physical  Digital and VirtualWorlds

Download or read book Digitising the Industry Internet of Things Connecting the Physical Digital and VirtualWorlds written by Ovidiu Vermesan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the current Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, ranging from the research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies in a global context. A successful deployment of IoT technologies requires integration on all layers, be it cognitive and semantic aspects, middleware components, services, edge devices/machines and infrastructures. It is intended to be a standalone book in a series that covers the Internet of Things activities of the IERC - Internet of Things European Research Cluster from research to technological innovation, validation and deployment. The book builds on the ideas put forward by the European Research Cluster and the IoT European Platform Initiative (IoT-EPI) and presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing the research, innovation, development and deployment of IoT in the next years. The IoT is bridging the physical world with virtual world and requires sound information processing capabilities for the "digital shadows" of these real things. The research and innovation in nanoelectronics, semiconductor, sensors/actuators, communication, analytics technologies, cyber-physical systems, software, swarm intelligent and deep learning systems are essential for the successful deployment of IoT applications. The emergence of IoT platforms with multiple functionalities enables rapid development and lower costs by offering standardised components that can be shared across multiple solutions in many industry verticals. The IoT applications will gradually move from vertical, single purpose solutions to multi-purpose and collaborative applications interacting across industry verticals, organisations and people, being one of the essential paradigms of the digital economy. Many of those applications still have to be identified and involvement of end-users including the creative sector in this innovation is crucial. The IoT applications and deployments as integrated building blocks of the new digital economy are part of the accompanying IoT policy framework to address issues of horizontal nature and common interest (i.e. privacy, end-to-end security, user acceptance, societal, ethical aspects and legal issues) for providing trusted IoT solutions in a coordinated and consolidated manner across the IoT activities and pilots. In this, context IoT ecosystems offer solutions beyond a platform and solve important technical challenges in the different verticals and across verticals. These IoT technology ecosystems are instrumental for the deployment of large pilots and can easily be connected to or build upon the core IoT solutions for different applications in order to expand the system of use and allow new and even unanticipated IoT end uses. Technical topics discussed in the book include: • Introduction• Digitising industry and IoT as key enabler in the new era of Digital Economy• IoT Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda• IoT in the digital industrial context: Digital Single Market• Integration of heterogeneous systems and bridging the virtual, digital and physical worlds• Federated IoT platforms and interoperability• Evolution from intelligent devices to connected systems of systems by adding new layers of cognitive behaviour, artificial intelligence and user interfaces.• Innovation through IoT ecosystems• Trust-based IoT end-to-end security, privacy framework• User acceptance, societal, ethical aspects and legal issues• Internet of Things Applications
