Integration and Optimization of Energy Data Analysis Systems

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that recently became mainstream with the launch of numerous consumer products, some of them dedicated to Home Energy Management. Due of its novelty and immaturity, IoT Platforms should be designed for change. This project aimed to provide an existing data analysis mechanism as a service to third-parties and enable the usage of custom energy management devices by an existing data monitoring application. To achieve this, a service-oriented system was created that allows third-parties to send energy consumption data and receive the classi cation's result as soon as possible, in isolation of the remaining system; an IoT communication protocol was used to allow energy management devices to send data in degraded network conditions and with low power consumption. This solution enables future projects of the company to reuse its components, such as the generic time-series storage platform developed in the process.
