A microgrid is composed of distributed power generation systems, distributed energy storge systems, loads as a small scale power system. Generally, the microgrid is operated by an energy management system (EMS). In this paper, a testing technique for a microgrid EMS using the hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) technique is introduced. Especially, the microgrid is composed of multiple buildi...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used for intelligent building management applications. Typically, indoor environment parameters such as illumination, temperature, humidity and air quality are monitored and adjusted by an intelligent building management system. However, owing to the short life-span of the batteries used at the sensor nodes, the maintenance of such systems has be...
