Proceedings ArticleDOI
Empirical characterization and modeling of electrical loads in smart homes
TL;DR: The goal is to develop a new methodology for modeling electric loads that is both simple and accurate, and it is shown that the models are significantly more accurate than binary on-off models, decreasing the root mean square error by as much as 8X for representative loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing Occupancy Detection From Smart Meters
TL;DR: This work designs a CHPr-enabled water heater that regulates its energy usage to thwart a variety of occupancy detection attacks without violating its objective-to provide hot water on demand-and evaluates it in simulation using real data.
Proceedings Article
Yank: enabling green data centers to pull the plug
TL;DR: Yank is presented, which uses a transient server abstraction to maintain server availability, while allowing data centers to "pull the plug" if power becomes unavailable, while being implemented inside of Xen.
Journal ArticleDOI
GreenCharge: Managing RenewableEnergy in Smart Buildings
TL;DR: This paper proposes a system architecture and optimization algorithm, called GreenCharge, to efficiently manage the renewable energy and storage to reduce a building's electric bill and shows that GreenCharge's savings for a typical home today are greater than the savings from using only net metering.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Scaling distributed energy storage for grid peak reduction
TL;DR: The storage adoption cycle is presented to describe the issues with incentivizing energy storage using variable rates, and a simple way to address the issues is proposed: augment variable rate pricing with a surcharge based on a consumer's peak demand.
