“…There are many solutions to monitor and manage energy systems also based on the use of WSN. For example, in [8] a WSN was proposed as a solution for energy evaluation and planning in an industry plant, after considering the disadvantages of the currently wired infrastructures used for data communications, such as high installation costs. WSNs are ideal for the implementation of low-cost solutions for energy evaluation in industrial plants.…”

The Smart Grid vision imposes a new approach towards energy supply that is more affordable, reliable and sustainable. The core of this new vision is the use of advanced technology to monitor power system dynamics in real time and identify system in stability. In order to implement strategic vision for energy management, it is possible to identify three main areas of investigation such as smart generation, smart grid and smart customer. Focusing on the latter topic, in this paper we present an application specifically designed to monitor an industrial site with particular attention to power consumption. This solution is a real time analysis tool, able to produce useful results to have a strategic approach in the energy market and to provide statistic analysis useful for the future choices of the industrial company. The application is based on a three layers architecture. The technological layer uses a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to acquire data from the electrical substations. The middleware layer faces the integration problems by processing the raw data. The application layer manages the data acquired from the sensors. This WSN based architecture represents an interesting example of a low cost and non-invasive monitoring application to keep the energy consumption of an industrial site under control. Some of the added value features of the proposed solution are the routing network protocol, selected in order to have an high availability of the WSN, and the use of the WhereX middleware, able to easily implement integration among the different architectural parts

“…The exchanged information will be the actual measured values from the spatially distributed sensors. Such networks afford more challenging issues where the cooperative monitoring of physical parameters (including environment hostile to humans) is critical; environmental monitoring, target localization, automatic diagnostic systems, surveillance, fire detection are only a few of the possible examples [5]- [8]. Nevertheless, apart from the RPID case, the wireless interface of the sensors strongly impacts upon the costs, thus limiting the diffusion of such networks.…”

The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for the automatic transmission of physical parameters in wireless sensor networks paves the way to a large class of attractive applications, ranging from healthcare to automotive, diagnostic systems, robotics and many others. Nevertheless, although some RFID tags capable to transmit sensor-like information are already on the market, only a limited number of sensors, such as those for temperature or pressure measurement, can be easily miniaturized and embedded in the RFID chip. The integration of more complex sensors, in fact, appears to be complicated and extremely expensive. In this paper, a cost effective general-purpose multi-ID tag is proposed. It can be connected to generic sensors, regardless of the actual measured value, and it is capable to transmit, when interrogated by a standard RFID reader, a proper combination of ID codes that univocally codifies the sensor measured value. The functionalities of this device have been extensively validated under stressing conditions and the capability to transmit whatever kind of sensor data has been demonstrated.
