Data-driven framework for energy-efficient smart cities

Abstract

Energy management is one of the greatest challenges in smart cities. Moreover, the presence of autonomous vehicles makes this task even more complex. In this paper, we propose a data-driven smart grid framework which aims to make smart cities energy-efficient focusing on two aspects: energy trading and autonomous vehicle charging. The framework leverages deep learning, linear optimization, semantic technology, domain-specific modelling notation, simulation and elements of relay protection. The evaluation of deep learning module together with code generation time and energy distribution cost reduction performed within the simulation environment also presented in this paper are given. According to the results, the achieved energy distribution cost reduction varies and depends from case to case.
