The Internet of Energy: Smart Sensor Networks and Big Data Management for Smart Grid

Big Data management in smart grid: concepts, requirements and implementation

“…But on the other hand, it has some limitations in security due to the shared platform between several users. The network bandwidth is also another challenge, which causes low latency problems in real time applications, that require highly scalable, available, and fault-tolerant connection [14]. All these ICT dimensions increase the risk of compromising smart grid security objectives, namely: availability, integrity, confidentiality and accountability.…”

A Review of Smart Cities Based on the Internet of Things Concept

“…Healthcare, managing shared resources, and enabling support social networking are other applications of the smart communities. Hence, this concept is not only connection of neighbors but also extension and development of a comprehensive smart city which can monitor and control entire activities in a smart city [4].…”

“…Through efficient scheduling methods for charging and discharging of EVs, the peak load is shaved, emissions are reduced, and the usage of renewable energy sources are increased [58]. To improve the efficiency of charging and discharging scheduling method, sensors collect information about electric vehicles' identity, battery state and location [4].…”

Integrated Sensor Systems for Smart Cities

“…Spatially considered, the smart city is apart of a broader approach of "smarter planet", tailored to specific urban areas [3]. On the other hand, smaller territorial units of the smart cities are "smart homes" [4,5]. Out of several definitions of smart cities given in the terminology, the following one has been chosen: smart city is "the safe, secure, environmental and efficient urban centre of the future with advanced infrastructures such as sensors, electronic devices and networks to stimulate sustainable economic growth and a high quality of life" [6].…”

“…The layers of the technological architecture of smart cities / IoT are: 1) sensors, 2) network and 3) applications. Sensors collect data through the network and send them to a central processing unit, on the basis of which decisions are made relating to the application layer [3,5]. As a separate layer of the architecture, platform can be added,where the data are processed [9] (Fig.…”
