BoilerGuardian: Smart Heating System Fault Monitoring over NBIoT

“英国拥有欧洲最多的家用锅炉，到2020年，将有超过2400万套住宅拥有燃气或燃油锅炉（来源：BSRA，2017）。这些供暖系统的使用年限和效率各不相同。智能锅炉有可能减少能源账单，目前平均家庭能源账单的55%是由于供暖。通常情况下，一个效率低下的锅炉浪费了大约10%的能源消耗。该项目的重点是使所有这些锅炉智能化，而无需改变锅炉。我们只需在锅炉上添加一个小型信标来监控系统，再加上先进的智能和数据分析，就可以实现这一目标。想象一下，您可以：* 节省昂贵的锅炉维修费用，防止不必要的锅炉损坏 * 拥有智能供暖，而无需购买新锅炉 * 在故障变得昂贵之前获得警报 * 根据您的真实的使用情况提供个性化建议，减少您的能源账单假设您管理着一系列物业，您会希望：* 知道哪些锅炉需要优先维修/保养 * 告知工程师故障类型，以便他们有相关的备件 * 监控锅炉的使用情况，以免被忽视或过度使用 * 报告您的物业组合中所有制造商的锅炉性能，以帮助您规划和做出购买决策作为护理人员，将我们的技术应用于老年人/弱势亲属的供暖系统，来监控他们的供暖，你可以确保他们的家庭温度不会低于安全阈值，他们的锅炉是安全的。假设你是一个能源供应商，您还希望访问供暖使用数据，以更好地规划能源供应，并为消费者提供更多个性化收费选择。想象一下，你正在领导一个理事会或政府部门，你想优先考虑生态供暖补贴，冬季付款和燃料津贴给那些最需要的人。想象一下，您希望确保社区中的老年人、残疾人或弱势群体拥有安全、高效且维护良好的锅炉，并在寒冷天气期间正确使用它们。该项目解决了上述所有问题。我们将设计可以安装在现有锅炉上的低功率信标，并测试安全和弹性软件分析平台的可行性，该平台从本地安装的锅炉信标中获取上述所有功能的数据。"

"The UK has the largest number of domestic boilers in Europe, by 2020 there will be over 24M dwellings that will have gas or oil boilers (Source: BSRA, 2017). These heating systems are of a variety of ages and efficiencies. Smart boilers have the potential to reduce energy bills, currently 55% of the average domestic energy bill is due to heating. Typically, an inefficient boiler wastes around 10% of the energy it consumes.**This project is focused on making all these boilers smart without having to change the boiler.** We achieve this by simply adding a small beacon to the boiler to monitor the system, together with advanced intelligence and data analytics.Imagine you could:* Save on costly boiler repair and prevent unnecessary boiler damage* Have smart heating, without having to buy a new boiler* Be alerted to faults before they become expensive to fix* Reduce your energy bills, with personalised advice based on your real usageSuppose you have a portfolio of properties that you manage, you will want to:* Know which boilers need priority servicing/maintenance* Advise engineers of the type of fault so they have the relevant spare parts* Monitor boiler usage so it is not neglected or overused* Report on the performance of boilers across all the manufacturers in your propertyportfolio to help you plan and make purchasing decisionsAs a carer, fit our technology to heating systems of elderly/vulnerable relatives, to monitor their heating and you can ensure that their home temperature does not go below a safe threshold and that their boiler is safe.Imagine you are an energy supplier and you want access to heating use data to better plan energy supply and to give consumers more choice between personalised tariffs. Imagine you are leading a council or government department and you want to prioritise eco heating subsidies, winter payments and fuel allowances to those that need it the most. Imagine you want to ensure that elderly, disabled or vulnerable people in your community have safe, efficient and well maintained boilers and are using them appropriately during cold spells.This project addresses all of the above. We will design low power beacons that can be fitted to existing boilers and test the feasibility of a secure and resilient software analysis platform which takes data from locally fitted boiler beacons for all the features described above."
