“…The automation field has developed considerably and uses new technologies such as intelligent equipment, advanced sensors and controllers, and low energy consumption technologies, all being integrated via communication interfaces and appropriate software in order to manage specific operations such as those from the automotive industry, healthcare, or modern buildings. Based on these premises, a research paper [ 19 ] proposed the development, design, and experimental validation of a wireless sensor network but also of a web-based platform for monitoring and managing the microgrid of the Renewable Energy Area National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) (Huelva, Spain) [ 19 ]. The authors also proposed a solution for managing renewable energy microgrids that can be optimized by reducing energy consumption integrated into an IoT platform with high data processing and storage capacity.…”

The development of the smart building concept and building automation field is based on the exponential evolution of monitoring and control technologies. Residents of the smart building must interact with the monitoring and control system. A widely used method is specific applications executed on smartphones, tablets, and PCs with Bluetooth connection to the building control system. At this time, smartphones are increasingly used in everyday life for payments, reading newspapers, monitoring activity, and interacting with smart homes. The devices used to build the control system are interconnected through a specific network, one of the most widespread being the Building Automation and Control Network (BACnet) network. Here, we propose the use of the BACnet Application Layer over Bluetooth. We present a proposal of a concept and a practical implementation that can be used to test and validate the operation of the BACnet Application Layer over Bluetooth.

“…This comes from several photovoltaic fields of different technologies as well as from a wind turbine. All these renewable energy sources are integrated in a microgrid that can also store excess energy in different types of batteries and in the form of hydrogen [88]. This is the reason why the electric RPAS is considered a zero-emission device; in this case, generation of electric energy does not involve fuel-consuming techniques.…”

It is well proved that remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs) are very useful systems for remote sensing in precision agricultural labors. INTA (National Institute for Aerospace Applications) and the University of Huelva are involved in Tecnolivo Project that proposes the development of a marketable and easy-to-use technological solution that allows integrated, ecological, and optimized management of the olive grove through non-invasive monitoring of key agronomic parameters using RPASs. The information collected by the RPAS in regards to the state of the vegetation, such as hydric stress levels, plague detection, or maturation of the fruit, are very interesting for farmers when it comes to make decisions about their crops. Current RPAS applications for precision agriculture are mainly developed for small- to medium-sized crops using rotary-wing RPASs with small range and endurance operation, leaving aside large-sized crops. This work shows the conversion of a fully declassified and obsolete fixed-wing internal combustion engine (ICE) remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), used as aerial target for military applications and in reconnaissance and surveillance missions at low cost, into an electric lithium polymer (LiPo) battery-driven RPA that will be used for precision agriculture in large-sized crop applications, as well as other applications for tracking and monitoring of endangered animal species in national parks. This RPA, being over twenty years old, has undergone a deep change. The applied methodology consisted of the design of a new propulsion system, based on an electric motor and batteries, maintaining the main airworthiness characteristics of the aircraft. Some other novelties achieved in this study were: (1) Change to a more efficient engine, less heavy and bulky, with a greater ratio of torque vs. size. Modernization of the fly control system and geolocation system. (2) Modification of the type and material of the propeller, reaching a higher performance. (3) Replacement of a polluting fuel, such as gasoline, with electricity from renewable sources. (4) Development of a new control software, etc. Preliminary results indicate that the endurance achieved with the new energy and propulsion systems and the payload weight available in the RPA meet the expectations of the use of this type of RPAS in the study of large areas of crops and surveillance.

Wireless Sensor Network different topology [15] Another type of communication has been used in [24], where low power, wide area network (LoRaWAN) proposed to achieve a higher coverage range in MG, allowed the integration of sensors that can be located far away from the MG core. By implementation, LowRaWAN node should obtain online voltage and current reading of several MG sources by using modules and energy meter.…”

The complexity and the decentralization of Micro-Grids have led to management and diagnosis issues because of using distributed power sources, especially the renewable energy sources. Wireless Sensor Networks can substitute part of the communication infrastructure of the Micro-Grid, it deploys between its elements in order to ensure data flow in real time. It allows energy management applications to have more interesting cost and efficiency. The present work discusses the Wireless Sensor Networks usage dedicated to energy management and default diagnosis in Micro-Grids.
