Over the past decade, the idea of smart homes has been conceived as a potential solution to counter energy crises or to at least mitigate its intensive destructive consequences in the residential building sector.

Load disaggregation techniques infer the operation of different power consuming devices from a single measurement point that records the total power draw over time. Thus, a device consuming power at the moment can be understood as…

In recent years, the energy consumption of computing systems has increased and a large fraction of this energy is consumed in main memory. Towards this, researchers have proposed use of non-volatile memory, such as phase change memory…

Micro-inverter technologies are becoming increasingly popular as a choice of grid connection for small-scale photovoltaic systems. Efficiently harvesting the maximum energy from a photovoltaic system reduces the Levelized cost for solar…

Modern mobile platforms like Android enable applications to read aggregate power usage on the phone. This information is considered harmless and reading it requires no user permission or notification. We show that by simply reading the…

Most modern control systems are switched, meaning they have continuous as well as discrete decision variables. Switched systems often have constraints called dwell-time constraints (e.g., cycling constraints in a heat pump) on the switching…

Biofeedback is commonly used to regulate one's state, for example to manage stress. The underlying idea is that by perceiving a feedback about their physiological activity, a user can act upon it. In this paper we describe through two…

In this work, we study massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) precoders optimizing power consumption while achieving the users' rate requirements. We first characterize analytically the solutions for narrowband and wideband systems…

The constantly increasing number of power generation devices based on renewables is calling for a transition from the centralized control of electrical distribution grids to a distributed control scenario. In this context, distributed…

We use a power grid model with $M$ generators and $N$ consumption units to optimize the grid and its control. Each consumer demand is drawn from a predefined finite-size-support distribution, thus simulating the instantaneous load…

Accelerated development of demand response service provision by the residential sector is crucial for reducing carbon-emissions in the power sector. Along with the infrastructure advancement, encouraging the end users to participate is…

Demand response is considered to be one of the key means through which peak energy demand could be ameliorated. This report presents a requirements elicitation exercise (undertaken in collaboration with the Bristol City Council, UK) to…

Due to the fluctuating nature of the wind and the increasing use of wind energy as a power source, wind power will have an increasing negative influence on the stability of the power grid. In this paper, a model predictive control strategy…

In recent years, smart meters have been widely adopted by electricity suppliers to improve the management of the smart grid system. These meters usually collect energy consumption data at a very low frequency (every 30min), enabling…

Power systems are subject to fundamental changes due to the increasing infeed of decentralised renewable energy sources and storage. The decentralised nature of the new actors in the system requires new concepts for structuring the power…

Energy disaggregation is to discover the energy consumption of individual appliances from their aggregated energy values. To solve the problem, most existing approaches rely on either appliances' signatures or their state transition…

The smart grid initiative has encouraged utility companies worldwide to rollout new and smarter versions of energy meters. Before an extensive rollout, which is both labor-intensive and incurs high capital costs, consumers need to be…

Terminal devices (TDs) connect to networks through access points (APs) integrated into the edge server. This provides a prerequisite for TDs to upload tasks to cloud data centers or offload them to edge servers for execution. In this…

The growing popularity of e-mobility, heat pumps, and renewable generation such as photovoltaics is leading to scenarios which the distribution grid was not originally designed for. Moreover, parts of the distribution grid are only sparsely…

Energy management, and in particular its optimization, is one of the hot trends in the current days, both at the enterprise level (optimization of whole corporate/government buildings) and single citizens' homes. The current trend is to…
