Moving Energy Consumption Control into the Cloud by Coordinating Services

Authors

Abstract

In this paper we present a cloud-based service oriented approach for collecting, integrating, storing, and analyzing energy consumption data. Our approach models energy sensors as services that can be composed to provide value added information with various granularity levels that best suit users’ needs and requirements: home-owners, energy providers, local and regional planning authorities, etc. The resulting system is a layer oriented service network where each layer provides information at different levels of aggregation based on a polyglot persistence approach.
