Title
The Case for Ontologies in Expressing Decisions in Decentralized Energy Systems.
Abstract
Advanced in technologies for the decentralization of applications have enabled micro-grid energy systems that do not rely on central control and optimization but are controlled by their owners. This may eventually enable consumers or intermediaries to specify concrete and diverse conditions on the supply that not only concern throughput, price and stability but also elements as provenance (e.g. that energy is produced from renewable sources) or locality among others. Blockchain technologies have emerged as a possible solution for the integration of the stream of events generated by smart meters and networks, providing tamper-proof ledgers for offerings, transactions and traces. However, that requires languages for expressing conditions that might become complex and have to be executed locally. In this paper, we review the state of decentralization in micro-grids and its requirements, and discuss the role of ontologies as support for expressing constraints in those networks.
