In this lecture I will present the required steps/methodology used on a
Small scale case (house/domotics) towards a large scale one (smart city)
under an Energy Efficiency situation. The integration of the various energy
systems and the required optimization algorithms (stochastic dynamic
programming) are also included in this part. Thus, initially the creation of
a Software Tool for a single House Energy Management Systems (HEMS) followed
by the further extension to multiple houses under a microgrid concept is
given. As the scale increases then the creation of a more complex tool on
the efficiency/optimization is required for the Building Energy Management
Systems (BEMS). This system will have to operate also in presence of
microrenewables (i.e., wind, solar, CHP) and the integration of electric
vehicles (EVs) with the available parking space (underground or on surface),
either on an islanded way or connected to the electricity grid under a
symmetric/asymmetric situation functioning as a microproducer while this
integrated tool is also the objective of this work.

Integration at DeustoTech, Energy Unit, University of Deusto, Spain and a
Visiting Scholar at MIT, USA while he has been an Assistant Professor at
IST, of the MITPortugal program. He is the recipient of various research
national and international awards (graduate, Marie Curie-EU, IKY-Greece,
etc) and has been a research professor for 18 years in various Universities
and Research Institutions in Europe and USA in the field of nanotechnology
and energy. He is the author of various research reports, white papers and
technical manuals (20), books and book chapters (10), monographs (9) and has
been author/co-author of more than 100 articles in international journals
and International Conferences under peer-reviewed. His research interests
focus on energy modeling, intelligent grids, energy systems integration
(electric vehicles, energy storage, Carbon capture and storage, renewable,
microrenewables), economic operation of power systems, innovation and green
economy and nanomaterials applied on energy and health issues.
