The integration of smart energy appliances, such as thermostats, energy-efficient washing machines, and connected lighting, is essential for improving energy management in modern homes and power grids. To maximize their potential, these devices must communicate seamlessly and adhere to standardized protocols. This study introduces Ontology-Driven Constraint Tester (ODCT) designed to ensure interoperability among smart energy appliances. The tester focuses on validating datasets against the Smart Appliances REFerence (SAREF) ontology and its extension for energy systems, SAREF4ENER, both of which were established by ETSI SmartM2M to enhance interoperability in smart energy appliances.

摘要

The integration of smart energy appliances, such as thermostats, energy-efficient washing machines, and connected lighting, is essential for improving energy management in modern homes and power grids. To maximize their potential, these devices must communicate seamlessly and adhere to standardized protocols. This study introduces Ontology-Driven Constraint Tester (ODCT) designed to ensure interoperability among smart energy appliances. The tester focuses on validating datasets against the Smart Appliances REFerence (SAREF) ontology and its extension for energy systems, SAREF4ENER, both of which were established by ETSI SmartM2M to enhance interoperability in smart energy appliances. ODCT is applied to the Flexible Start use case from the Joint Research Centre’s Code of Conduct for Energy Smart Appliances. Our methodology includes: 1) generating relevant datasets, 2) defining SHACL shape constraints, 3) designing a user-friendly web application, and 4) conducting compliance testing. Results show that ODCT effectively identifies deviations from the established ontologies, ensuring data accuracy and interoperability.
