Abstract

Energy management, and in particular its optimization, is one of the hot trends in the current days, both at the enterprise level (optimization of whole corporate/government buildings) and single-citizens’ homes. The current trend is to provide knowledge about the micro(scopic) energy consumption. This allows to save energy, but also to optimize the different energy sources (e.g., solar vs. traditional one) in case of a mixed architecture. In this work, after briefly introducing our specific platform for smart environments able to micro-account energy consumption of devices, we present two case studies of its utilization: energy saving in offices and smart switching among different energy sources.

The “O” prefix assigned to the components (OMeter and OBox) and to the platform itself (OPlatform) comes from the name of the spin-off, Over, which has engineered the research.

The dimension of the plant may range: if consumptions are high, the plant might produce up to 1 kW; otherwise, if the domestic consumption is lower, the total renewable production can be lower. We consider a range between 400 and 1000 W.
