“…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].…”

“…The shift from being passive consumers into active prosumers maximizes a variety of economic [34], operational and environmental benefits in the areas of micro-generation, demand reduction, demand response [34], data management [34,35], and energy storage [36]. Various factors influence this transformation such as new technologies (smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure [25,26], energy displays, and smart appliances), implementation of cost-efficient energy saving measures, government incentive schemes to encourage participation in the energy system, and strong public stance to alleviate harmful environmental effects [8,36]. Hence, we propose the following: Proposition 1.…”

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.

“…Al-Kuwari et al [4] presented a user friendly smart home infrastructure that offers the base platform for modular wireless nodes (utilizing Zig Bee technology integrated with the Arduino microcontroller board) which can collect data, send information and control almost any aspect of the building, as well as the ability to access those wireless nodes and their information through a cross-platform graphical user interface, composing a non-standard system which they called "Bee House".…”

Abstract:Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a well established protocol in network management. In order to apply this protocol in smart home environment, a proxy agent should be used. This proxy agent converts sensor readings to an SNMP compatible form. In this work LabVIEW toolkits are used to play this role. First by acquiring the sensors' readings via multiple sub agents then sending them wirelessly to a single master agent through various approaches. The master agent completes the role of the proxy agent by storing these readings in a database file using LabVIEW database toolkits. This paper demonstrates a test bed representing this system is carried out and an SNMP software is used to monitor and control the sensors remotely. The results show that the proposed smart sending approach greatly reduced the amount of traffic needed.

“…Some attempts have been made to reduce costs [4]. Alongside this, most currently available systems [5,6] are controlled by a special device (a dedicated controller) or a computer running a program specially written for the task. However, with the increased use of Android and iOS-based devices, applications have been developed to enable them to be used as controllers [4,2].…”
