A Prosumer-Oriented, Interoperable, Modular and Secure Smart Home Energy Management System Architecture

As prices on renewable energy electricity generation and storage technologies decrease, previous standard home end-users are also becoming producers (prosumers). Together with the increase of Smart Home automation need to manage energy-related interaction between consumers Grid through different Demand Response approaches, management becomes a complex multi-faceted problem, calling for an extensible, interoperable secure solution. This work proposes modular architecture building Energy Management System, integrable existing Automation Systems, that considers use interfaces data communication, implementation security measures integration components, as well semantic web integrate knowledge build it. Our proposal is finally validated in one real smart test-bed, evaluating system from functional standpoint demonstrate its ability support our goals.
