Abstract

In recent years a great number of Smart Grid home monitor and control strategies have been proposed and many optimization algorithms were developed. However, many of them have only been tested by simulations, in part due to the absence of an open and versatile testing platform. We thus present a design and implementation of an open home energy management system platform. This implementation is based on Contiki OS, CoAP as application protocol, and IPv6 over 802.15.4 (6lowPAN) for communication. An optimization algorithm was implemented for a platform test. Experiments verified a good performance for the proposed architecture.
