The ۵G network-based IoT plus Smartphones Can be Used as a Flexible, User-centric, Climate-resilient and Cost-effective Model for Smart Demand Side Management of Buildings

Urban areas including cities are recognized as places where ۶۵% of the global primary energy are consumed and more than ۷۰% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the energy sector have occurred over there. The building sector of urban areas plays a key role in both energy consumption and GHG emissions at the city level. Cities to meet their climate change goals can be utilized demand-side management (DSM) for managing energy consumption of buildings while providing energy flexibility, reducing GHG emissions of them, and enhancing the comfort level of their occupants. This paper proposes a new control strategy for DSM of the building sector in the complex energy system based on the collective intelligence-DSM (CI-DSM) method. The CI-DSM method is developed to control and set adaptation measures among buildings as agents in the urban energy sector. This study puts forward the ۵G network-based IoT and user/occupant’s smartphones as the distributed ICT-based platform and terminal controller devices for the collaborative distribution network of buildings. The proposed IoT-based system is more flexible, empowers demand flexibility, improves occupant resilience, and helps to bring back the urban energy system towards equilibrium or stability after a shocking event such as extreme weather conditions faster and surprisingly agile. In addition, it reduces the energy consumption and cost of installation since implementing planned thermal prioritizing based on the occupant’s preference in its control strategy and the physical architecture of ۵G networks for power systems uses the same equipment as other functions.
