Smart Monitoring: remote-monitoring technology of power, gas, and water consumption in Smart Cities
share
This paper describes the remote-collection technology of detailed data (Smart Monitoring) on the consumption and quality of energy resources in public services. In this article, under "energy resources" (hereinafter referred to as resources) we outline electrical power, water (hot and cold), heat, and gas. Data on resource quality refer to the parameters characterizing the consumed resource. We also present an option of the data-acquisition system structure based on Smart Monitoring technology. Particular attention is paid to security in the system and the centralized management of its elements. The data flow in such system carries information about the behavior of energy consumers and the household equipment they use. Data on energy consumption for billing purposes in such a system is just one of many kinds, and not the most important feature. The development of Smart Monitoring technology is aimed at developing the market of IT services and mass services based on analysis of collected detailed data on energy-resource consumption.
