Smart Monitoring, Management & Control

Give brains to urban energy systems

We need:
• Energy systems with maximum efficiency under all circumstances.
• Consumers participating in the energy transition through smart home appliances and smart grids.
• Smart and ethical use of data for demand/supply match and system optimisation.

Research challenges
•   Self-learning and self-optimising energy management systems.
•   Advanced energy diagnosis systems.
•   Multi-objective optimisation: energy, comfort, air quality and costs.
•   Privacy by design.
•   Big data for a better understanding of occupant behaviour and energy rebound.
•   Big data for real-time performance assessment.
