Descripción del proyecto
COORDINATED PROJECT, PARTICIPATED BY TWO RESEARCH GROUPS: EXIT(CONTROL ENGINEERING AND INTELLIGENTSYSTEMS) FROM THE UNIVERSITAT DE GIRONA AND SYST (SYSTEM & SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY) FROM THEUNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID (UPM), THAT AIMS CONTRIBUTING TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEMS IN SMART CITIES BY MEANS OF THE APPLICATION OF ADVANCED MONITORING,THE PROJECT ENVISIONS A PLATFORM TO SUPPORT MONITORING PROCEDURES FOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN SMARTCITIES, THIS REQUIRES A SOFTWARE ENGINEERING VISION TO SPECIFY A REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE THAT SUPPORTSVARIABILITY FOR DIFFERENT DOMAINS (ENERGY, WATER, CITY MOBILITY, ETC,), VENDORS, ETC, UNDER THIS PERSPECTIVE THECONSORTIUM COMBINES EXPERTISE OF UDG ON DATA DRIVEN MONITORINGMETHODS (MODELING, FAULT DETECTION ANDDIAGNOSIS AND BENCHMARKING) WITH EXCELLENCE OF UPM ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, THUS, THE PROJECT RELIESON TWO MAIN CONCERNS:1)ADAPTING DATA-DRIVEN METHODS FOR PROCESS SUPERVISION TO COPE WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY MONITORING(MEASURE AND VERIFICATION PROCEDURES, CONSUMPTION PATTERN MODELLING AND DISCOVERING, ETC,), NEWMETHODS, BASED ON THESE TECHNIQUES WILL BE DEVELOPED TO SOLVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY CHALLENGES INCLUDINGFAULT AND LOSES (LEAKAGE) DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION OF EMERGENT BEHAVIOURS, PATTERN DISCOVERY ANDCONSUMERS BENCHMARKING,2)SPECIFYING TECHNICAL AND FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO DESIGN A REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE FOR DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEMS IN SMARTS CITIES, SERVICE ORIENTED SOLUTIONS WILL BE PROPOSED TO COPE WITH THE DESIREDINTEROPERABILITY OF THIS TYPE OF LARGE SYSTEMS, REAL TIME AND BIG DATA ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT WILL BEANALYSED TO SUPPORT REAL TIME MONITORING THAT PROVIDES THE DATA THAT IS THE INPUT FOR THE MONITORINGALGORITHMS AND THEIR FUNCTIONALITIES, FURTHERMORE, ASPECTS AS SCALABILITY, VARIABILITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY WILLBE HELD INTO CONSIDERATION, AND USED AS DRIVERS FOR ARCHITECTURE ASSESSMENT,PROJECT RESULTS WILL BE TESTED IN USE CASES UNDER TWO SCENARIOS: URBAN WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ANDENERGY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS, CONTRIBUTIONS TO MONITOR THE EFFICIENCY OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS WILLHAVE A MID AND LONG TERM IMPACT RELATED WITH THE REDUCTION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND WATERLOSSES,COLLABORATION WITH EPOS ALLOWS ENVISIONING EXPLOITATION OF RESULTS OF THE PROJECT AS SOFTWARESOLUTIONS TO ASSIST ENERGY AND WATER CONSULTANCY AND MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES, IN A SHORT TERM, RESULTSOBTAINED DURING THE DEPLOYMENT OF USE CASES WILL HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT IN THE SCENARIOS THAT WILL BEQUANTIFIED ACCORDING INDICATORS,THE PROJECT TACKLES THREE FOCUS AREAS OF THE THIRD SOCIETAL EUROPEAN CHALLENGE SECURE, CLEAN ANDEFFICIENT ENERGY: ENERGY EFFICIENCY, SMART CITIES AND WATER; AND FITS WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF DEVELOPING ICTBASED ENERGY MANAGEMENT TOOLS TO ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SMART BUILDINGS ANDNEIGHBOURHOODS, AT NATIONAL LEVEL, THIS VISION IS SPLIT IN TWO SOCIETAL CHALLENGES: SECURE, CLEAN ANDEFFICIENT ENERGY (CH3) AND ECONOMY AND DIGITAL SOCIETY (CH7), ALTHOUGH, THE PROPOSAL IS ALIGNED WITHNATIONAL OBJECTIVE OF INCREASING SOCIAL AWARENESS AND PROMOTING TECHNOLOGIES TOWARDS LOWER ENERGYCONSUMPTION PATTERNS DESCRIBED IN THE SOCIETAL CHALLENGE THREE SECURE, CLEAN AND EFFICIENT ENERGY, ITBETTER FITS CH7 ECONOMY AND DIGITAL SOCIETY WHERE SPECIFIC PRIORITIES ON SMART CITIES AND ICTAPPLICATIONS ADDRESS THE NEED OF ADVANCED SERVICES FOR NEW SUSTAINABLE MODELS, AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT, SMART CITIES\ARQUITECTURA SOFTWARE\EFICIENCIA ENERGETICA
