智能电网是一种新兴的范式，其基础是引入先进的信息和通信技术与能源电网相结合。全球大部分正在进行的研究都过于关注智能计量，能源可视化以及潜在的住宅设备管理，通常是打开/关闭电器。很少有人关注下一个步骤，即实现新的复杂应用程序的挑战性领域，这些应用程序利用先进的网络嵌入式设备带来的最新管理功能，它们提供的大量细粒度数据以及在这些大数据上运行的服务。我们在这里仔细研究智能计量之外的一些方面，以及考虑到“物联网”生态系统及其功能的创新增值应用和服务。我们研究了后者如何影响应用程序的开发及其带来的好处和挑战。我们还研究了智能电表的作用和当前住宅环境中利益相关者之间的“战区”，并试图进一步阐明其动机和影响。最后，为了使“云物联网”时代的好处更加有形，我们展示了一个应用程序，利用服务生态系统，并提供决策支持，电器买家。
The smart grid is an emerging paradigm based on the introduction of sophisticated information and communication technologies coupled with the energy grid. Most of the ongoing research worldwide is focused too much on the smart metering, energy visualization as well as potential residential device management which is usually turning ON/OFF appliances. Less attention has been given to the next step, i.e. challenging area of realizing new sophisticated applications that utilize the latest management capabilities brought to the table by advanced networked embedded devices, the huge amount of fine-grained data they offer and services that operate on such big data. We take a closer look here to some aspects beyond the smart metering, towards innovative value-added applications and services that take into consideration the “Cloud of Things” ecosystem and its capabilities. We investigate how the latter impacts the development of applications and the benefits as well as challenges it brings. We also look at the role of the smart meter and the current “war zones” among stakeholders in the residential environment, and try to shed some more light on their motivation and impact. Finally in order to make more tangible the benefits in the “Cloud of Things” era, we demonstrate an application that taps into the service ecosystem and offers decision support to electric appliance buyers.
