Background
KIC InnoEnergy, founded in 2010, is the European company promoting
innovation, entrepreneurship and education in sustainable energy.
Supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology
(EIT), and top players in the European energy industry sector, KIC
InnoEnergy’s aim is to make a positive impact on the sustainable
energy field. Its 27 shareholders include top ranking industries, research
centers and universities.
Task
The students will be working within a project that aims to investigate
how building owners (residential and commercial) can improve their
energy management in order to achieve a smarter electricity usage at
lower costs. Specific tasks for this work include:

Investigate system architecture options for IoT based Smart
Buildings where energy consumption (home appliances etc) and
visualization (smartphone, tablet etc) devices are connected and
exchange data in real time.
Investigate architecture and design options for a cloud based
energy management systems (EMS) where functions of metering,
billing, and energy balancing is implemented.
-
Investigate options for quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level
Agreement
(SLA) for using public LTE/4G network for
communication between cloud EMS and smart building.
During the work students shall have opportunity to interact and work
with startup companies in KIC InnoEnergy business incubator as well as
large Swedish energy utilities.
