Talk with professor Torben Bach Pedersen: Integrating Smart Buildings and Smart Grids using the domOS Common Ontology
March 25 @ 15:00 – 16:00
Smart buildings and smart grids share the goal of trying to optimize their respective operations, e.g., to use energy flexibly. However, they struggle to cooperate as they lack a common language to communicate between their different worlds.
This talk describes how the Horizon 2020 project domOS: Operating System for Smart Buildings achieved integration between smart buildings and smart grid using the domOS Common Ontology (dCO), a comprehensive language and information model for formally describing smart building and the sensors, actuators, and assets within them. The focus will be on the Energy Flexibility module which extends the well-known SAREF4ENERGY ontology with energy flexibility concepts from the award-winning FlexOffer model.
