Smart metering system data analytics platform using multicore edge computing

Abstract

The smart grid revolution has only been possible, thanks to the development and proliferation of smart meters. The increasingly growing computing capabilities for Internet of Things devices have made it possible for data to be processed directly from the devices where it is produced; this has been called edge computing. Edge computing is allowing the smart grid to become increasingly intelligent to solve problems that make electricity consumption more efficient and environmentally friendly. This work presents the implementation of a smart metering system that allows data analytics using a multiprocessing architecture directly on the smart meter. The results show that the development of smart meters with data analytics capabilities at the edge is a reality today, and the use of multiprocessing permits the improvement of data processing.

Managing health supply chain using blockchain technology: state of art challenges and solution

“…Entities in the blockchain which will have access to the information contained in blocks for keeping track of flow of medicines to avoid counterfeiting at any stage are classified as follows [5]: manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies (retailers and wholesalers), hospitals, consumers and travel agencies first of all, a highly authorized body needs to be established which will work under the surveillance of government. The main function of this body is to assign a unique ID to the genuine and legitimate manufacturers and distributors present in the pharma industry and to regulate the movement of batches [21]- [26]. It will keep an eye on the functioning of manufacturers and distributors and will explain the uniform standards for their functioning.…”

Insights on the internet of things: past, present, and future directions

“…Before transmission, data must be filtered and compressed to an ideal size. 3) Edge IT data processing [67], [94], [100], [109], [122], [133], [140], [168]- [170], [216], [220]- [223] Before reaching the cloud center, the digitized and aggregated IoT data is processed further. Edge devices do sophisticated analytics and preprocessing, which may include machine learning and visual representation.…”

“…One way that IoT edge computing may be used to protect humans is to automatically shut down machines when someone enters a prohibited area at a factory. Autonomous cars require data in order to make critical real-time decisions that might mean the difference between life and death on the road [24], [26], [67], [100], [109], [133], [145], [184], [186], [216], [220], [221], [267], [268], [293], [297], [335].…”

Design and simulation of a software defined networking-enabled smart switch for internet of things-based smart grid

“…They discussed the massive high scaled transactions created because of the small scale microsources as they call it. Rojas [8] in their paper they discussed how to create a platform for data analysis generated from smart meters, they implemented the platform on a multicore edge-based hardware.…”
