Cyber-enabled grids: Shaping future energy systems

Home Energy Management Systems in Future Smart Grids

We present a detailed review of various Home Energy Management Schemes (HEM,s). HEM,s will increase savings, reduce peak demand and Pto Average Ratio (PAR). Among various applications of smart grid technologies, home energy management is probably the most important one to be addressed. Various steps have been taken by utilities for efficient energy consumption.New pricing schemes like Time of U...

Building Cyber-Physical Energy Systems

The built environment, as hallmark of modern society, has become one of the key drivers of energy demand. This makes for meaningful application of novel paradigms, such as cyber-physical systems, with large scale impact for both primary energy consumption reduction as well as (micro-) grid stability problems. In a bottom-up approach we analyze the drivers of CPS design, deployment and adoption ...

Energy Agents - Foundation for Open Future Energy Grids

Redefining our energy landscape by means of regenerative, volatile and decentralized organized systems represents a major challenge for the creation of distributed control solutions. Standards are required that permit describing the variety of energy conversion systems and that enable an interoperable exchange of energy amounts in an open, flexible manner by concurrently taking into account tec...

Cyber Biosphere for Future Embedded Systems

Future Embedded Systems are heading into a degree of complexity which is far beyond today`s level. As most technical artifacts will be interconnected in some sense (“Internet of Things”) Embedded Systems of the future cannot be treated as isolated entities any longer. Two major tendencies to cope with this challenge can be observed. The first one takes its inspiration from the technical roots o...
