Survey on Technologies Driving the Smart Energy Sector

The European electricity system undergoes significant changes driven by the EU common rules for the internal market for electricity, as well as by the climate action agenda. The future smart electricity system will build upon a combination of a broad range of new and old technologies together working in novel ways. This paper provides an analysis of novel concepts and technologies for building smart energy management applications from the landscape of technologies from two perspectives: Smart Grids and Energy Efficient Building Operation.
