This paper introduces Carnegie Mellon campuswide CarnegiePLUG test-bed. This test-bed in a hardware-in-theloop simulator that enables large-scale sensing, computation and actuation over a network of heterogeneous energy producers and consumers (prosuming) assets. CarnegiePLUG is a multi-agent framework that facilitates plug-and-play integration of a wide range of virtual and physical sensors and controllers through a multi-layer architecture. Virtual functionalities are accessed in software environments that interface with communication layer of our test-bed. This paper discusses CarnegiePLUG layers, provides implementation details and showcases potential applications of this test-bed through preliminary results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
