EPFL Develops System to Measure In-Building Energy Usage and Coordinate with Smart Grid
Source: Smart Grid Observer
January 15, 1018 -- A smart grid that decides how best to distribute energy based on availability, cost and customers’ needs – that’s the energy concept being developed by researchers in the Electronics Laboratory at the École Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne (EPFL)'s School of Engineering in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Researchers have designed a system capable of collecting data on people’s energy usage and comfort within buildings. By gathering data sent from connected devices – like smartphones and the sensors in electronic appliances – the system can obtain an overall picture of a building’s electricity needs over time and by room. This data can then be passed on to a smart grid in order to anticipate energy needs and decide how best to allocate available resources.
