An all-in-one reference to the major Home Area
Networking, Building Automation and AMI protocols,
including 802.15.4 over radio or PLC, 6LowPAN/RPL,
ZigBee 1.0 and Smart Energy 2.0, Zwave, LON, BACNet,
KNX, ModBus, mBus, C.12 and DLMS/COSEM, and the new ETSI
M2M system level standard. In-depth coverage of
Smart-grid and EV charging use cases. This book
describes the Home Area Networking, Building Automation
and AMI protocols and their evolution towards open
protocols based on IP such as 6LowPAN and ETSI M2M. The
authors discuss the approach taken by service providers
to interconnect the protocols and solve the challenge of
massive scalability of machine-to-machine communication
for mission-critical applications, based on the next
generation machine-to-machine ETSI M2M architecture. The
authors demonstrate, using the example of the smartgrid
use case, how the next generation utilities, by
interconnecting and activating our physical environment,
will be able to deliver more energy (notably for
electric vehicles) with less impact on our natural
resources.Key Features: Offers a comprehensive overview
of major existing M2M and AMI protocols Covers the
system aspects of large scale M2M and smart grid
applications Focuses on system level architecture,
interworking, and nationwide use cases Explores recent
emerging technologies: 6LowPAN, ZigBee SE 2.0 and ETSI
M2M, and for existing technologies covers recent
developments related to interworking Relates ZigBee to
the issue of smartgrid, in the more general context of
carrier grade M2M applications Illustrates the benefits
of the smartgrid concept based on real examples,
including business cases This book will be a valuable
guide for project managers working on smartgrid, M2M,
telecommunications and utility projects, system
engineers and developers, networking companies, and home
automation companies. It will also be of use to senior
academic researchers, students, and policy makers and
regulators. |
