“…Prosumers can also store excess energy using Energy Storage System for future use, or sell the surplus energy to the grid or nearby consumers [24]. Prosumers use smart meters during energy production and integrate these devices with household energy management systems [9,25,26], energy storage systems [27][28][29], electric vehicles [30][31][32], and vehicle-to-grid systems [33,34] to efficiently integrate into the smart grid [16].…”

Smart grids are robust, self-healing networks that allow bidirectional propagation of energy and information within the utility grid. This introduces a new type of energy user who consumes, produces, stores and shares energy with other grid users. Such a user is called a “prosumer.” Prosumers’ participation in the smart grid is critical for the sustainability and long-term efficiency of the energy sharing process. Thus, prosumer management has attracted increasing attention among researchers in recent years. This paper systematically examines the literature on prosumer community based smart grid by reviewing relevant literature published from 2009 to 2018 in reputed energy and technology journals. We specifically focus on two dimensions namely prosumer community groups and prosumer relationships. Based on the evaluated literature, we present eight propositions and thoroughly describe several future research directions.

With the rapid technological developments of sensors, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become the main technology for IoT (1) , which means Internet of Things. Nowadays, the wireless network is used more wildly in different places for its low-cost and easy-setup compared to the wired network, resulting in more and more applications of WSN in various fields. For studying of the WSN and applying it into my research, this paper briefly gives the concept of WSN and a review of WSN applications.

“…Industry is gradually moving towards Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI), which refers to the entire measurement and collection system, providing bi-directional communication between the service provider and customer. The data from these systems can be used for billing purposes or as feedback into home automation systems [2] for intelligent regulation of energy sources. A key limitation of current meters used in AMI systems is that they are battery powered, which imposes a limitation on the operational lifetime of a device.…”

In this paper we investigate the feasibility of powering wireless metering devices, namely heat cost allocators, by thermal energy harvested from radiators. The goal is to take a first step toward the realization of Energy-Harvesting Advanced Metering Infrastructures (EH-AMIs). While traditional batterypowered devices have a limited amount of energy, energy harvesting can potentially provide an infinite amount of energy for continuous operating lifetimes, thus reducing the cost involved in installation and maintenance. The contribution of this work is twofold. First, we experimentally identify the potential energy that can be harvested from Low Surface Temperature (LST) radiators. The experiments are based on a developed EnergyHarvesting Heat Cost Allocator (EH-HCA) prototype. On the basis of this measured power budget, we model and analytically compare the currently used Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme of an industrial case study (IMR+) to a MAC scheme specifically designed for energy harvesting systems (ODMAC).Our analytical comparison shows the efficiency of the latter, as well as its ability to adapt to harvested ambient energy.
