Abstract

In this paper is presented an approach to design distributed knowledge-based software environment for energy efficient cities. All data gathered by the smart tools at domestic or public facilities can be accessed by the platform. Energy savings can be achieved as result from an optimized mix of both condition-based and preventive energy losses services that followed an online analysis of collected data. Algorithms and methods for an intelligent interpretation of the collected data can be developed within the platform in order to monitor the energy consumption process. Simulation of different scenarios forecasting the consumer’s further behaviour in energy consumption will be the result of that intelligent interpretation.
