The era of the Internet of things (IOT’s), machineto-machine (m2m) and human-to-machine (h2m) computing has heralded the development of a modern-day smart industry in which humanoids can co-operate, co-exist and interact seamlessly. Currently, there are many projects in this area of smart communication and thus giving rise to an industry electrified by smart things. In this paper we present a n...

Buildings across the world contribute significantly to the overall energy consumption and are thus stakeholders in grid operations. Towards the development of a smart grid, utilities and governments across the world are encouraging smart meter deployments. High resolution (often at every 15 minutes) data from these smart meters can be used to understand and optimize energy consumptions in build...

In a smart power grid, collecting data from a large number of smart meters and sensors over the conventional one-hop transmission control protocol (TCP) communication is prone to a high packet loss rate and degraded throughput due to the ineffectiveness of the TCP congestion control mechanism. The Split and Aggregated TCP (SA-TCP) proposes upgrading intermediate devices (known as regional colle...

The efforts of the European Union (EU) in the energy supply domain aim to introduce intelligent grid management across the whole of the EU. The target intelligent grid is planned to contain 80% of all meters to be smart meters generating data every 15 minutes. Thus, the energy data of EU will grow rapidly in the very near future. Smart meters are successively installed in a phased roll-out, and...

Mechanical meters are being replaced with electronic meters in an effort to create more efficient electricity markets and, in doing so, to achieve climate targets. However, in a deregulated energy market, coordinating the exchange of data between these so-called smart meters and the various market participants entitled to this data is challenging. The British government has decided for a regula...

This paper aims to address two timely energy problems. First, significant low-cost energy reductions can be made in the residential and commercial sectors, but these savings have not been achievable to date. Second, billions of dollars are being spent to install smart meters, yet the energy saving and financial benefits of this infrastructure – without careful consideration of the human element...

In this demonstration paper we describe a web application that allows visualisation of current and historical readings of smart meters and monitoring their current states using CQELS for an integration of static and streaming RDF sources.
