Smart carbon monitoring platform under IoT-Cloud architecture for small cities in B5G

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the 5G age, the construction of smart cities around the world consequents on the exploration of carbon reduction path based on IoT technology is an important direction for global low carbon city research. Carbon dioxide emissions in small cities are usually higher than that in large and medium cities. However, due to the huge difference in data environment between small cities and Medium-large sized cities, the weak hardware foundation of the IoT, and the high input cost, the construction of a small city smart carbon monitoring platform has not yet been carried out. This paper proposes a real-time estimate model of carbon emissions at the block and street scale and designs a smart carbon monitoring platform that combines traditional carbon control methods with IoT technology. It can exist long-term data by using real-time data acquired with the sensing device. Therefore, the dynamic monitoring and management of low-carbon development in small cities can be achieved. The contributions are summarized as follows: (1) Intelligent thermoelectric systems, industrial energy monitoring systems, and intelligent transportation systems are three core systems of the monitoring platform. Carbon emission measurement methods based on sample monitoring, long-term data, and real-time data have been established, they can solve the problem of the high cost of IoT equipment in small cities. (2) Combined with long-term data, the real-time correction technology, they can dispose of the matter of differences in carbon emission measurement under diverse scales.

A Review of Internet of Things-Based Visualisation Platforms for Tracking Household Carbon Footprints

“…This could include a web-based interface or a mobile app. Add Features: Add features such as alerts, notifications, and recommendations to help users reduce their CFs [12]. Test and Refine: Test the platform with real users and refine it based on feedback.…”

Design and Development of a Low-cost Sensor IoT Computing Device for Greenhouse Gas Momitor from Selected Industry Locations

“…Low Cost Sensors (LCS) over time have experienced tremendous developments and application in greenhouse gas accounting and reporting at lower levels (city blocks) [31]. However, the use of low cost sensor in Ambient Air Quality monitoring is limited to Particulate matter only in Ghana evidenced in the Ghana Urban Air Quality Project (GHAir) [10,25].…”

“…The authors of [31] assessed in their research the adaptation of the IPCC model for small cities in carbon monitoring. In their research, the use of the IPCC model was asserted as ineffective in estimating carbon emissions on small cities level due to lack of timely real time monitoring data.…”

“…Lack of intelligent energy monitoring system (due to high cost) to monitor and report carbon inventory data was identified among the limitation of adapting the IPCC model for small cities. The last identified limitation is the inability to universally adapt the IPCC model for different levels in small cities due to the differences in estimation method of monitoring data and long term data [31].…”
