Smart Buildings and Smart Grids

This report provides an overview of the program, discussions, and outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15091 “Smart Buildings and Smart Grids”, which took place from 22–27 February 2015 at Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. The main goal of the seminar was to provide a forum for leading Energy Informatics (EI) researchers to discuss their recent research on Smart Buildings and Smart Gri...

Big Data: Perspektiven fuer Smart Grids und Smart Buildings

This paper present a short survey about recent trends on the arising field of big data. After a definition and explanation of ”Big Data” and a discussion why data sizes increase, appropriate methods to solve big data problems are introduced. In addition, recent applications and future potentials in smart buildings and smart grids are discussed.

Smart Grids

Smart - Grids

We build a system dynamics model to evaluate the potential dynamics of consumer adoption of “Smart Energy Behaviour”. Within this term we include different levels of: i) shift in electricity consumption towards less costly-less polluting and congestioning hours; ii) the reduction of mainly wasteful electricity consumption, that maintains similar levels of comfort; iii) the enrolment in demand r...

Privacy in Smart Grids

Electricity grids are evolving to “smart grids”. Smart grids employ communication of supply and demand between participants of the grid to achieve better efficiency, availability, resilience, etc. than traditional grids. Consumer households are connected to the smart grid using smart metering and demand response. Smart metering communicates the household’s electricity consumption at high resolu...
