In order to move forward the vision of Smart Grid, a flexible multi-utility and multi-service metering architecture is needed to allow innovative services and utilities for the different actors playing in this scenario. To achieve this, different meters (e.g. electric, water, heating and gas meters) must be integrated into a distributed architecture in order to gather and analyse heterogeneous data. Hence, such architecture provides in real-time a complete overview of the energy consumption and production in the grid from different prospectives. From customer viewpoint, this information can be used to provide user awareness and suggest green behaviours, thus reducing energy waste. From energy operator or utility provider viewpoint, for instance such analysis can: i) improve the demand response for optimizing the energy management during peak periods; ii) profile consumer energy behaviours for predicting the short term energy demand; iii) improve energy and market efficiency. In this paper, we discuss the characteristics of this infrastructure and its expected impacts on utility providers, energy operators and customers.

Future smart cities would integrate a wide range of mostly heterogeneous systems and ICT is an essential asset in the coordination of those. The smart buildings, a major smart cities research and development domain, should advance beyond the complex automation tools and the anticipated energy and comfort envelope. The universal convergence to technologies that would enable the seamless integration with the anticipated smart cities urban environment should be highlighted. Although it is a concept widely accepted for current and future developing standards, it is much less communicated across scientific fields as for example the urban development and building automation. Even worse its necessity, in the latter, is frequently challenged. This paper firstly will try to address the market and scientific criticism towards a fully web-services enabled building in a fair and transparent approach. Secondly it proposes a system as an interoperability layer able to build advanced managements schemes by integrating the assets of current automation and monitoring systems to the Internet backbone.

Several challenges exist in developing smart buildings such as the development of context aware algorithms and real-time control systems, the integration of numerous sensors to detect various parameters, integration changes in the existing electrical infrastructure, and high cost of deployment. Another major challenge is to optimize the energy usage in smart buildings without compromising the comfort level of individuals. However, the success of this task requires in depth knowledge of the individual and group behaviour inside the smart building. To solve the aforementioned challenges, we have designed and developed a Smart Personalised System for Energy Management (SPSE), a low cost context aware system integrated with personalized and collaborative learning capabilities to understand the real-time behaviour of individuals in a building for optimizing the energy usage in the building. The context aware system constitutes a wearable device and a wireless switchboard that can continuously monitor several functions such as the real-time monitoring and localization of the presence of the individual, real-time monitoring and detection of the usage of switch board and equipment, and their time of usage by each individual. Using the continuous data collected from the context aware system, personalized and group algorithms can be developed for optimizing the energy usage with minimum sensors. In this work, the context aware system was tested extensively for module performance and for complete integrated device performance. The study found the proposed system provides the opportunity to collect data necessary for developing a personalized system for smart buildings with minimum sensors.

About one third of Germany;s energy demand is used for room heating thus offering a huge potential for energy savings. The development of intelligent home energy systems should optimize the energy consumption of buildings. In Germany the most common way to control the room temperature while heating is to use a thermostatic valve. This temperature-control system is self-sustaining but has no possibility to communicate to the heating system or other devices in the household. For the test and development of new control strategies and the appropriate components a Hardware-in-the-Loop test bench for hydraulic network applications is developed at the E.ON Energy Research Center. This test bench allows the test of a heating system of a flat in a controllable surrounding under dynamic boundary conditions. In this paper the new test bench concept will be described.

This paper addresses a bottom-up approach for energy management in buildings. Future smart cities will need smart citizens, thus developing an interface to connect humans to their energy usage becomes a necessity. The goal is to give a touch of energy to occupants' daily behaviours and activities and making them aware of their decisions' consequences in terms of energy consumption, its cost and carbon footprint. Second, to allow people directly interacting and controling their living spaces, that means individual contributions to their feeling of comfort. Finally, a software solution to keep track of all personal energy related events is suggested and its possible features are explained.

Existing commercial buildings represent a challenge in the energy efficiency domain. Energy efficiency of a building, very often equalized to a building;s performance should not be observed as a standalone issue. For commercial buildings, energy efficiency needs to be observed and assessed within the context of performance of resident businesses. We examine both business performance and energy performance and how they relate to one another to conclude that building occupants, who are also employees, hold the key to optimizing both metrics in one of the most cost-efficient ways. Finally, the goal of our contribution is twofold: 1) to re-scope the concept of building performance to and show the importance to consider, hand-in-hand, both energy performance and performance of resident businesses, and 2) re-state the importance of the potential that lies in the active involvement of building occupants in optimizing overall building performance.

The action aims at reintroducing and re-thinking hemp cultivation, with the purpose of sustainable recovery of highly polluted agricultural land surrounding ILVA, the huge steel plant in Taranto (Italy). Hemp (Cannabis sativa) can be used to reclaim the soils using an innovative, eco-friendly and low-cost technique called phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is the direct use of plants, and their associated microorganisms, to stabilize or reduce contamination in soils, sludges, sediments, surface water, or ground water. Hemp is suitable to be used to recover soils, since it easily grows under different pedo-climatic conditions, hemp can be re-introduced in current cropping systems. Hemp produces high exploitable biomass for the non-food sector. For this reason several experiments have started in order to test industrial hemp and the real ability to recover soils. The experimental data actually encourage to use hemp to reclaim soils contaminated with heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs. It would be necessary to extend the test for collecting definitive data on its effective use to remediate contaminated soils with inorganic and/or organic pollutants.

The urban population growth and rapid urbanization are the key issues many of the European cities are currently dealing with. Vienna, as the one of the leading cities, embodies the smart cities goals and values. The new Smart City Wien Framework Strategy is more than a technological approach, furthermore, it emphasises importance of the social innovation. Nevertheless, the strategy lacks concrete goals for academic research and smart cities integration into educational programs. Little to no academic research discusses smart cities oriented study programs. This paper aims to close existing gap and proposes exemplary practical approach to integrate smart cities concepts at the academic level. Starting with the basic evaluation of the existing smart cities relevant study programs in the European area, we elaborate three interacting tracks for implementation: educational Web platform, postgraduate program and cross-departmental study programs including student projects. A practical, professional field-oriented and diversity-fair approach is chosen. The paper describes the status quo of the implementation process and in particular a cross-departmental study program. This exemplary implementation concept of smart cities may serve as a basis for universities with practice-oriented education to utilize own smart cities related studies.

The research is aimed at developing algorithms for the construction of automated systems to control active components of the electrical network. The construction of automated systems intended for the control of electric power systems requires high-speed mathematical tools. The method applied in the research to describe the object of control is based on the universal approach to the mathematical modelling of nonlinear dynamic system of a black-box type represented by the Volterra polynomials of the N-th degree. This makes it possible for the input and output characteristics of the object to obtain an adequate and fast mathematical description. Results of the computational experiment demonstrate the applicability of the mathematical tool to the control of active components of the intelligent power system.

Theft of electricity amounts to 1.5% GDP, of most of the developing nations like India. Hence there is a great need to detect power thefts in developing nations. In this paper, we have proposed a wireless network based infrastructure for power theft detection which caters to other functional requirements of the microgrid such as renewable energy integration, automatic meter reading etc. Algorithm for power theft detection (PTDA) which is proposed in this paper, works in the distributed intelligent devices of the microgrid infrastructure for power theft detection. The coordinated action of intelligent devices with PTDA in the microgrid infrastructure enables not only the detection of power theft, but the localization of power theft in the micro-grid. PTDA increases the 1) cost of communication 2) energy consumption of intelligent devices 3) packet latency, if any critical data is piggy backed with power theft data in micro-grid. To solve these issues, we have proposed EPTDNA (Efficient Power Theft Data Networking Algorithm) which uses the frequency of power theft detection and average power draw for power theft, for the efficient routing of power theft. The performance analysis and results given in this paper shows how EPTDNA solves the major issues with PTDA.
在印度等大多数发展中国家，电力盗窃占GDP的1.5%。因此，侦查发展中国家的电力盗窃行为是非常必要的。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于无线网络的窃电检测基础设施，以满足微电网的其他功能需求，如可再生能源集成、自动抄表等。本文提出的窃电检测算法(PTDA)适用于微电网基础设施的分布式智能设备中进行窃电检测。智能设备与PTDA在微电网基础设施中的协同作用，不仅可以实现窃电检测，还可以实现窃电在微电网中的定位。PTDA增加了1)通信成本2)智能设备的能耗3)数据包延迟，如果任何关键数据与微电网中的电力盗窃数据相关联。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了EPTDNA (Efficient Power Theft Data Networking Algorithm)算法，该算法利用窃电检测的频率和窃电的平均功耗来实现窃电的高效路由。本文给出的性能分析和结果显示了EPTDNA如何解决PTDA的主要问题。
