DEHEMS Sensor Simulation System - Details Released

In the research and development stages of the Digital Environmental Home Energy Management System (DEHEMS) our partners at the Research Institute e-Austria Timisoara have created a sensor simulation system, details of which can now be found on our website.

In brief, the DEHEMS Sensor System (DS3) includes:

• the need to generate very accurate sensor data for the data-analysis engine and pattern matching algorithms, preferably based on previously defined energy consumption patterns
• the need to rapidly generate and flood the storage engine with large amounts of real time sensor data in order to simulate the data output of the real-life monitoring system
• the ability to wrap the simulated data in XML, JSON and other custom formats and rapidly switch between these formats
• hardware constraints: the system had to be scalable in order to take maximum advantage of the underlying hardware architecture and was required to perform well on standard PCs (i.e. simulate more than 30.000 households).
