Design of an Event-Driven Residential Demand Response Infrastructure

A Distributed IoT Infrastructure to Test and Deploy Real-Time Demand Response in Smart Grids

“…In [33], Kim et al introduce a cloud-based DR platform able to perform power reduction requests and to return the price incentive per customer to obtain it. Jacobsen et al [34] present SEMIAH, a scalable infrastructure for residential DR exploiting shiftability of smart appliances within a Home Energy Management Gateway in communication with a distributed platform that permits receiving commands from a DR system to postpone appliance activation. In [35], Bhattarai et al designed a hierarchical DR architecture.…”

“…In its core, it integrates a realtime simulator for distribution networks with physical devices for Measurement & Control. MOSAIK [39], [40], [41] is Our framework Aguirre et al [30] LeMay et al [31] Mashima et al [32] Kim et al [33] Jacobsen et al [34] Bhattarai et al [35] MOSAIK [39], [40], [41] GRIDspice [42] ENEL [43] Faria et al [44] Tan et al [45] Wijaya et al [46] a flexible architecture to manage control strategies, scenario specifications and simulation models by exploiting semantic knowledge. These presented solutions are not capable to perform simulation of DR policies integrating also RTS in their frameworks.…”

“…• Solve a KP0/1 problem on all the appliances of the selected buildings, to select the appliances to be switched off (steps 15-24) • Give a timing of switching off (in non-decreasing discomfort order -steps 25-33), and on again (in non-increasing discomfort order, steps [34][35][36][37][38][39]. In order to obtain a smooth power cut in time, the time passing after one appliance switched off to the next is proportional to the amount of energy cut.…”

Smart Green Applications: From Renewable Energy Management to Intelligent Transportation Systems

“…Such a big deal pushes us to face extremely stimulating challenges including -Road Transportation Support (RTS) applications based on the ideas of the Internet of Things [4], cloud computing, security [5], autonomous and self-managing transport systems [6,7], social network concepts [8], Dense Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks [9], etc. ; -Real-Time ITS (RT-ITS) where efficiency [10], reliability and timeliness are the main system requirements [11][12][13]; -Energy Market Planning (EMP) where the reduction of traveling time as well as the improvement of engines efficiency, will permit drastic reductions in energy consumption [14,15]; -Management of Energy Production (MEP) viewed as an innovative as well as an effective approach to the realization of highly efficient plants to produce energy from renewable sources [16,17], taking care at the same time of the optimization of the traditional ones.…”
