THE INTERNET OF ENERGY<br />
DEE, RSET<br />
We waste too much energy and this is a direct cause of global warming. Imagine a fully integrat<strong>ed</strong><br />
electrical system that is safer, cleaner and sustainable. By utilising the Internet, Smart devices,<br />
sensors and switches technologists have design<strong>ed</strong> systems that save energy in an intelligent<br />
fashion, saving the consumer money in the process.<br />
The Internet of Things<br />
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best: The Internet of Things uses the existing infrastructure<br />
of the Internet to allow devices to communicate and share data. These devices include sensors,<br />
Smart devices, lights, motors and vehicles as well as any compatible electronics. The advantages<br />
of such a system are increases in automation, accuracy, efficiency and experience quality; going<br />
beyond current “machine: machine” systems. It is estimat<strong>ed</strong> that the IOT will contain over 50<br />
billion objects by 2020.<br />
The Internet of Energy<br />
As a subset of the IOT, the Internet of Energy (IOE) encompasses all objects involv<strong>ed</strong> in provision<br />
and use of electricity from the power grid down to individual electronic devices. The main<br />
objective of the IOE is to develop hardware, software and middleware for seamless, secure<br />
connectivity and interoperability achiev<strong>ed</strong> by connecting the Internet with the energy grids. The<br />
implementation of IoE services involves the use of multiple components, including emb<strong>ed</strong>d<strong>ed</strong><br />
systems, power electronics or sensors; which are an essential part of the infrastructure d<strong>ed</strong>icat<strong>ed</strong><br />
to the generation and distribution energy.
