“…As addressed by Domingues et al [15], there is a problem concerning the heterogeneity of BAS due to the custom solutions, which can be a barrier for BAS technologies development. Some protocols that emerged from automation standards have gathered support for BAS such as OPC.…”

“…Some protocols that emerged from automation standards have gathered support for BAS such as OPC. A comparative discussion of functional aspects of diverse technologies (OPC, BACnet, oBIX) related with BAS is found in [15]. In BAS applications, OPC can act as middleware, required to distribute information acquired from sensors/devices interconnected within a field bus distributed in the building [46].…”

The Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) interface provides an effective means to exchange data between automation-related entities, both hardware and software. Since its creation, it has been profusely used not only for industrial scenarios but also for other spheres, among which energy automation is an important scope. In order to portray the relevance of such protocol, this paper presents a survey of applications of OPC communication to manage systems integration in the context of energy automation.Palabras Clave: industrial communications, OPC, energy automation, Smart Grid, interoperability.

In this work, a method for detecting and correcting errors in Modbus-RTU communications is designed, implemented, and assessed in a smart metering application. This is a low-cost solution for improving communication quality in conventional Modbus-RTU architectures with copper fieldbus. It consists of introducing error detection and correction devices in the network segments most susceptible to errors caused by electromagnetic interference. Experimental validations were conducted and demonstrated the effectiveness of this method for isolating noisy segments in the communication bus, maintaining full compatibility with commercial devices and improving the performance of the entire network.

“…But by now the choice of T A is based on empirical data on human sensations and this is "subjective" (it is assumed that TA should be in the range 18 °C to 24 °C [2][3][4]), and the mathematical justification is "not enough" described [5]. In this connection, the mathematical modelling of heat transfer within the framework of the heat conduction model (which allows us to describe the process of heat exchange of a person with the environment quite accurately) is an actual research direction.…”
