This article describes the CC-SEM project, a research effort focused on building an integrated platform for smart monitoring, controlling, and planning energy consumption and generation in urban scenarios. The project integrates cutting-edge technologies (Big Data analysis, computational intelligence, Internet of Things, High Performance Computing and Cloud Computing), specific hardware for energy monitoring/controlling built within the project and efficient communication protocols. The proposed platform considers the point of view of both citizens and administrators, providing a set of tools for controlling home devices (for end users), planning/simulating scenarios of energy generation (for energy companies and administrators), and proposes advances in communication infrastructure for transmitting the generated data.
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.
