  • An Energy Flexibility Framework on The Internet of Things
    Publication . Le Guilly, Thibaut; Siksnys, Laurynas; Albano, Michele; Pedersen, Per; Stluka, Petr; Lino Ferreira, Luis; Skou, Arne; Pedersen, Torben; Olsen, Petur
    This paper presents a framework for management of flexible energy loads in the context of the Internet of Things and the Smart Grid. The framework takes place in the European project Arrowhead, and aims at taking advantage of the flexibility (in time and power) of energy production and consumption offered by sets of devices, appliances or buildings, to help at solving the issue of fluctuating energy production of renewable energies. The underlying concepts are explained, the actors involved in the framework, their incentives and interactions are detailed, and a technical overview is provided. An implementation of the framework is presented, as well as the expected results of the pilots.

  • Application system design – energy optimization
    Publication . Albano, Michele; Castiñeira, Rodrigo; Desdouits, Chloé; Lino Ferreira, Luis; Le Guilly, Thibaut; Isasa, Inge; Jokinen, Jani; Kondratjevs, Kaspars; Kunicina, Nadezhda; Manero, Lorenzo; Milo, Aitor; Monge, Javier; Le Pape, Claude; Pedersen, Per; Pedersen, Torben; Olsen, Petur; Siksnys, Laurynas; Skou, Arne; Stluka, Petr; Zabasta, Anatolijs
    In this chapter, we present a number of applications of the Arrowhead Framework with special attention to services related to awareness and optimization of energy consumption. First, we present the notion of FlexOffers as a general mechanism for describing energy flexibility. FlexOffers can be aggregated into larger flexibility units to be used as an Arrowhead service in the virtual market of energy [1]. This is followed by two examples on how to exploit such a flexibility service in the energy management of heatpumps and a campus building. Then we present two examples on how to exploit renewable energy to provide elevator services. Next, two examples of context aware services are described – smart lighting and smart car heating, and finally it is described how the Arrowhead Framework can play a role in the optimization of municipal service systems. In the final section, we indicate future work.
