文摘
In this paper, the project called Energy@home is introduced. It is a new and innovative attempt to standardize the Smart Grid eco-system, providing use cases and standardization of the communication protocol within a Home Area Network (HAN). Energy@home has been started as an Italian collaborative project among different companies, founded by Electrolux, Enel, Indesit Company and Telecom Italia. The aim of the project was to develop a communication infrastructure that enables provision of “Value Added Services-based upon information exchange related to energy usage, energy consumption and energy tariffs in the HAN. Different technologies are supported, but the first integration among different devices has been developed using ZigBee: this technology offers green and global wireless standards connecting the widest range of devices to work together intelligently. After the release of Energy@home specification and the validation of it through a number of interoperability test events, the Energy@home project has moved from being a collaborative project into a non-profit association. The goal of the association is to promote technologies and services for the home energy efficiency and for the proactive participation of the end users. The Energy@home Association is open to any company and anyone who is wishing to contribute to its purposes and it is rapidly growing with the addition of new members. The ZigBee Alliance is an open, non- profit association of more than 400 organizations driving development of innovative, reliable and easy-to-use ZigBee standards. The Alliance promotes worldwide adoption of ZigBee as the leading wirelessly networked, sensing and control standard for use in consumer, commercial and industrial areas.
