Microgrids present the challenge to reach a proper balance between local production and consumption, in order to reduce the usage of energy from external sources. This work presents a data-intensive solution to predict the energy behaviors. Thereby, control actions can be carried out such as...

Wireless access technologies are being embedded in utility meters, health devices, public safety systems, among others. These devices have low processing power and communicate at low data rates. New communication standards are being developed to support these machine-type communications (MTC),...

Energy saving is an important issue in the times of increasing energy prices. Products and services provided by the information and communication technology (ICT) can support energy efficiency and emissions reductions. The synergy of ICT and a residential area gives rise to the smart home...

Im Jahr 2013 deckte Deutschland seinen Primärenergiebedarf nur zu ca. 12 Prozent aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen; im Jahr 2050 sollen es aber 60 Prozent sein. Die Darstellung, wie und ob dies gelingen kann, ist Ziel dieses Buches. Zum einen müssen bereits bekannte Technologien, die rapide...
