Presentation Title
A Distributed Energy Cloud Concept for Real-Time Multi Energy Integration and Facility Optimization
Abstract
This paper reports on an ICT architecture developed to bridge the gap between heterogeneous SCADA metering networks, controls, and building management systems (BMS) on the one side, and responsive web and visual analytics on the other side. For near real-time operation, highly distributed database architectures (NoSQL) are adopted and implemented. The complete data collection and processing stack is shown in conjunction with real use-cases are demonstrated on a service and on a reporting level. The modular implementation eases scalability and extension with analytical engines, additional metering and wireless sensor systems, as well as an REST API for data sharing.
