Intra Smart Grid Management Frameworks for Control and Energy Saving in Buildings

In the context of Smart Grids and Internet of Things IoT Systems, distributed monitoring and actuation through Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks WSANs is fundamental to control the energy usage in buildings. Moreover, the realization of algorithms for the optimization of the energy consumption is of paramount importance. This paper presents a loosely coupled integration between a flexible management framework for WSANs, namely the IGMF Intra-Grid Management Framework, and a Dynamic Energy Scheduler with local control on sensors and actuators, namely the ITESS IoTLAB Energy Scheduling System. The integrated system allows the users to manage whole buildings applying Dynamic Energy Schedulers for different environments.
