“For every complex problem there is a simple solution that is wrong” 

George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Utilize the power and flexibility of cloud computing to

integrate diverse local monitoring and control systems to

achieve energy services at a neighborhood scale.”

Simple?

All simple?

Too simple?

Example services

The goal: utilize the power & flexibility of cloud computing to integrate diverse local monitoring & control systems to achieve energy services at a neighborhood scale

The Premise: “by allowing for interoperability at the data level & by leveraging existing cloud solutions via common communication, one can produce a loosely coupled integrated solution that is more likely to be adopted”.

The approach: defined as a System-of-Systems (SoS) approach, allows systems to act independently or to interoperate based on the COOPERATE Neighbourhood Information Model (NIM).
