Zusammenfassung
The advent and growth of smart energy grids is increasing the ability
to monitor and communicate power supply, pricing, and demand among
utility providers and consumers. While the smart meter infrastructure
is expanding at a rapid rate to enable communication using emerging
standards, the software architecture to collect, manage, analyze,
scale, and secure the information constantly streaming from the grid
is still being designed. Effective integration, analysis, and feedback
of energy information are essential for the benefits of smart grid
to propagate to the various stakeholders: power utilities, residential,
commercial, and institutional consumers, and service and application
providers. This can lead to a lower peak demand on utilities to ensure
regular supply of quality power, reduced consumption, and costs for
consumers by making them aware of and giving them control over their
power profile, and help organizations to plan and optimize energy
usage to meet sustainability goals.
Managing the energy information lifecycle – from the events streaming
from smart meters through the smart grid, to meaningful analysis
and feedback to utilities and consumers – presents several opportunities
for software systems research identified below.
