Abstract An ESI is a bi-directional, logical, abstract interface that The Energy Services Interface (ESI) is a concept that has supports the secure communication of information been identified and defined within a number of Smart Grid between internal entities (i.e., electrical loads, storage domains (e.g., NIST Conceptual Model1). Within these and generation) and external entities. It comprises the domains, an ESI performs a variety of functions. The devices and applications that provide secure interfaces purpose of this paper is to provide a common understanding between ESPs and customers for the purpose of and definition of the ESI at the customer boundary through facilitating machine-to-machine communications. ESIs a review of use case scenarios, requirements and functional meet the needs of today’s grid interaction models (e.g., characteristics.

  • DESIGN and DEVELOPMENT of an INTERNET-OF-THINGS (Iot) GATEWAY for SMART BUILDING APPLICATIONS
    DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERNET-OF-THINGS (IoT) GATEWAY FOR SMART BUILDING APPLICATIONS ADITYA NUGUR Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Electrical Engineering Saifur Rahman, Chair Manisa Pipattanasomporn Jaime De La Ree lopez 29th September, 2017 Arlington, VA Keywords: IoT, Smart Buildings, IoT Gateway, Building Energy Management DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERNET-OF-THINGS (IoT) GATEWAY FOR SMART BUILDING APPLICATIONS ADITYA NUGUR ABSTRACT With growing concerns about global energy demand and climate change, it is important to focus on efficient utilization of electricity in commercial buildings, which contribute significantly to the overall electricity consumption. Accordingly, there has been a number of Building Energy Management (BEM) software/hardware solutions to monitor energy consumption and other measurements of individual building loads. BEM software serves as a platform to implement smart control strategies and stores historical data. Although BEM software provides such lucrative benefits to building operators, in terms of energy savings and personalized control, these benefits are not harnessed by most small to mid-sized buildings due to the high cost of deployment and maintenance. A cloud-based BEM system can offer a low-cost solution to promote ease of use and support a maintenance-free installation. In a typical building, a conventional router has a public address and assigns private addresses to all devices connected to it. This led to a network topology, where the router is the only device in the Internet space with all other devices forming an isolated local area network behind the router.

    PNNL-25124 Buildings Interoperability Landscape December 2015 DB Hardin CD Corbin EG Stephan SE Widergren W Wang Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 PNNL-25124 Buildings Interoperability Landscape DB Hardin CD Corbin EG Stephan SE Widergren W Wang December 2015 Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 Executive Summary Buildings are an integral part of our nation’s energy economy. Advancements in information and communications technology (ICT) have revolutionized energy management in industrial facilities and large commercial buildings. As ICT costs decrease and capabilities increase, buildings automation and energy management features are transforming the small-medium commercial and residential buildings sectors. A vision is emerging of a connected world in which building equipment and systems coordinate with each other to efficiently meet their owners’ and occupants’ needs and buildings regularly transact business with other buildings and service providers (e.g., gas and electric service providers). However, while the technology to support this collaboration has been demonstrated at various degrees of maturity, the integration frameworks and ecosystems of products that support the ability to easily install, maintain, and evolve building systems and their equipment components are struggling to nurture the fledging business propositions of their proponents. Through its Building Technologies Office (BTO), the United States Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE-EERE) is sponsoring an effort to advance interoperability for the integration of intelligent buildings equipment and automation systems, understanding the importance of integration frameworks and product ecosystems to this cause.
