Efficient Shared of Green Energy Consumption on Smart Buildings

This research topic addresses the deployment of IoT nodes on a smart building equipped with a shared renewable photovoltaic generation system. Collaborative economy and shared resources are in the background of this research line. Each flat owner will have IoT fixed nodes at the main consumer devices, requesting its service when best available. A credit system for each community should be envisaged so both the shared of green energy and efficiency are considered when connecting the devices. The IoT deployment shall be capable to control the electricity consumed by the equipments choosing the best time to be switched on lowering the electricity demand while maximizing the consumption of all the available generated green electricity. The goal is to match the generation of the photovoltaic system (green energy) with the demand so the community takes advantage of the whole green electricity generation. The IoT network would keep track of the delayed requests done by users, switching on the equipments based on a smart schedule, while reporting to everyone their consumption so the people behaviour could be changed to better use the energy.
