<span lang="EN-US">The operation of modern housing infrastructure is characterized by a constant increase in the cost limited resources used. This necessitates priority implementation concept smart home elements aimed at resource saving and their rational management. The study provides an overview architectures internet things (IoT) construction automation systems requirements they impose...

Measurement of the active, reactive, and apparent power is one of the most fundamental tasks of smart meters in energy systems. Recently, a number of studies have employed the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for power measurement in smart meters. The most common way to implement DWT is the pyramid algorithm; however, this is not feasible for practical DWT computation because it requires either...

The increasing diffusion of renewable energies which underlie significant daily and seasonal fluctuations increases grid operations’ complexity. For the effective use of renewable energies, innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) and concepts are necessary to efficiently balance power generation and consumption. An ICT-based innovation in this context is the smart metering t...

Power quality (PQ) in the low voltage (LV) network and consumer premises, especially homes, is largely unmonitored and, anecdotally, is not well understood. Specific monitoring typically takes place only after consumer complaints have been laid or abnormalities noticed. This paper investigates the possibilities, opportunities, and challenges around leveraging the advanced metering infrastructur...

Smart technologies play a key role in sustainable economic growth. They transform houses, offices, factories, and even cities into autonomic, self-controlled systems acting often without human intervention and thus sparing people routine connected with information collecting and processing. The paper gives an overview of a novel Wi-Fi technology, currently under development, which aims to organ...

Europe’s smart metering initiative may be the largest engineering project ever undertaken in the region; it is significantly larger than the Channel Tunnel. The European Parliament mandated the replacement of electricity meters with new ‘smart’ meters by 2022, except in Member States who certify this year that it would be uneconomic. This project could cost over $100 billion, and will involve n...

With the inclusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) components into the low-voltage (LV) distribution grid, some measurement data from smart meters are available for the control of the distribution networks with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV). This paper undertakes a central voltage-control strategy for smart LV distribution networks, by using a novel optimal power flow ...

Smart Machining Systems (SMS) are an important part of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) since its capabilities include: producing the first and every product correct; improving the response of the production system to changes in demand (just in time); realizing rapid manufacturing; and, providing data on an as needed basis. Thereby, SMS improve the performance of production systems and reduce produ...
