Platform for coordination of energy generation and consumption in residential neighborhoods

This article presents a platform, which aims at energy savings in residential neighborhoods via coordination of energy generation and consumption. The platform includes hardware infrastructure and service oriented information system. While an overview of the platform is given, the energy management services are described in more detail. Assessment of platform robustness, flexibility and scalability is provided and demonstrated on examples.
