In this paper we present a heterogeneous collaborative sensor network for electrical management in the residential sector. Improving demand-side management is very important in distributed energy generation applications. Sensing and control are the foundations of the "Smart Grid" which is the future of large-scale energy management. The system presented in this paper has been developed on a self-sufficient solar house called "MagicBox" equipped with grid connection, PV generation, lead-acid batteries, controllable appliances and smart metering. Therefore, there is a large number of energy variables to be monitored that allow us to precisely manage the energy performance of the house by means of collaborative sensors. The experimental results, performed on a real house, demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed collaborative system to reduce the consumption of electrical power and to increase energy efficiency.
本文提出了一种用于住宅领域电能管理的异构协同传感器网络。在分布式发电应用中，改善需求侧管理非常重要。传感和控制是“智能电网”的基础，而“智能电网”是大规模能源管理的未来。本文提出的系统是在一个名为“MagicBox”的自给自足的太阳能房屋上开发的，该房屋配备了电网连接、光伏(PV)发电、铅酸电池、可控制电器和智能电表。因此，有大量的能源变量需要监测，这使得我们能够通过协同传感器精确管理房屋的能源性能。在实际房屋上进行的实验结果证明了所提出的协同系统降低电力消耗和提高能源效率的可行性。
