The key applications enabled by big data analytics and context-aware computing include transport, mobility, traffic lights and signals, energy systems, power grid, environment, buildings, public safety and civil security, planning and design, healthcare, education and learning, the quality of life, and urban infrastructures and facilities monitoring and management.
In recent years, the concept of context awareness has been expanded beyond the ambit of HCI applications to include urban applications, such as energy systems, transport systems, communication systems, traffic systems, power grid systems, healthcare systems, education systems, security systems, and so on (e.g. [1, 6, 9 11, 21 24]).
Three-quarters of that money was for relief -- mainly food and medicine -- leaving less than $150 million for reconstructing the nation's war-ravaged water systems, power grids, schools and roads.
And if cities move too slow, startups will simply find a way to work around them, leaving transit systems, power grids and highways to moulder.
But achieving food security for the hungry cannot be achieved without broad-based participation by food-insecure people in their own development, in combination with much higher levels of investments in basic education, health care facilities, water resource development, transport systems, power grids, agricultural research and extension.
Integrating DG, load, energy storage and control devices into a microgrid system and presenting this system to power grid as a single and controlled unit can respond to centralized-control signals and coordinate the contradiction between power grid and DG well.
Freak snow and ice storms left millions of people without power in southern China, stranded millions of migrant workers trying to get home and exposed the fragility of the country's transportation system and power grid.
Firstly, the transmission and distribution grids are operated and managed by different control centers in existing dispatch and control system of power grid.
Accurate and stable wind speed forecasting is a crucial issue in the wind power industry, which has a significant effect on power system operation, power grid security and market economics.
Thus the creation of the NRMC, which will work directly with various entities and federal agencies to protect infrastructure like banking systems and the power grid (not to mention election systems).
Indeed, understanding how network connectivity drives network functionality is critical for understanding a broad range of modern-day systems including the power grid, communications networks, the nervous system, and social networking sites.
