Smart home systems
Smart home systems generally consist of sensors and switches connected to a hub (also called a gateway) from which the system is controlled with a user interface via wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone or computer, often via internet cloud services. Smart Homes utilize network connectivity to manage and automate services such as lighting, heating/cooling and washing. This has impacts on energy consumption (and running costs). EDNA investigates such impacts.

Smart home with multiple systems
Smart home with multiple smart systems and interfaces, for example, smart meter display, lighting control display, heating and cooling control display, window status display etc. (This raises concerns about interoperability and acceptance by users).

IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group in front of the Norwegian PV-Wafer production NorSun
The IEA-PVPS Task 1 Expert Group during the technical visit in front of the Nor Sun wafer factory building in Ardalstangen/Norway. Due to strong Chinese competition in PV wafer production, this plant had to be shut down in 2023; as part of the European Net Zero Industry Act, it should be possible to resume production.

Stakeholders in the life cycle of IoT enabled heat pumps
Various examples of business models for IoT heat pumps were collected in IEA HPT Annex 56. The diagram shows the stakeholders involved in the life cycle of an IoT heat pump (blue = heat pump value chain, orange = operators and users, green = energy system). All reports are available at https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/annex56/.

Models for IoT heat pumps
The graphic shows different types of models that are relevant for IoT heat pumps. Physical models are based on physical relationships, data-driven models are created using only data. Hybrid models are based on both data and physical relationships.
