Cloud M2m Platform for Renewable Energy Tele-monitoring

The purpose of this paper is to define and describe a cloud M2M (Machine 2 Machine) platform, that is used for tele-monitoring renewable energy sources, with a specific focus on hydro-energy. We will present findings related to cloud architecture and resource management used for M2M systems, with the goal to assess the level of efficiency and security offered by these technologies. The paper fi...

Smart Grid Demonstration Platform for Renewable Energy Exchange

Offsetting cities’ dependence on fossil fuels is one of the key factors for meeting the environmental targets set out by the European Commission (EC) by 2020 [3]. The penetration of small-scale renewable resources in domestic households (photovoltaic panels and micro wind mills) empowers dwellings to collectively reduce their carbon footprint. Incentivizing the injection and trade of locally-pr...

Energy Sources: Non Renewable and Renewable

Floating Cities on Ice Platform

Many small countries are in real need of additional sovereign territory. Sometimes, they even build on rotting landfills and install various kinds of expensive artificial islands. The ocean covers 71% of our Earth’s surface. Those countries (or persons of wealth) starting the early colonization of the ocean may obtain advantages through additional territory or creating their own independent sta...

Renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and achieving the optimal mix of renewable energy

Global development in terms of increased attention to environmental protection and the finite nature of fossil resources have accelerated the use of renewable energies. Renewable energy portfolio standard (RPS), is a government policy to promote the use of renewable energy in the energy consumption basket.  The RPS stipulates the minimum amount of renewable energy that each electricity supplier...
