Overview


Introduction


Goal?

Self-organizing energy management and distribution in autonomous and self-powered Sensor Networks, the IoT, and Smart Energy Grids

Methodology?

Mobile Multi-agent Systems that are capable to transfer (virtually carry) energy between networks nodes with Divide-and-Conquer approach

Technology?

Sensor and computer nodes connected by shared data-energy links (i.e., transferring data and energy over a wired or wireless link)

Investigation?

Global emergence behaviour of self-organizing energy management agents

Evaluation?

Simulation of a mesh-grid Sensor Network using the SEJAM2 simulator

Motivation and State of the Art

Smart Energy Grid

  • Tight coupling of Communication and Power Control
