Introduction

This deliverable reports about part of the work carried out in Task T7.2 of WP7 of theSmartHG project. Namely, since Task T7.2 targets the dissemination activities, in thisdeliverable we focus on our main dissemination tool, i.e., the SmartHG project website.

The SmartHG project website is hosted at http://smarthg.di.uniroma1.it/ andconsists of two sections:

� A General Section [1] (which coincides with the project website), showing news,events, newsletter, publications, lea�et and any up-to-date information about theproject;

� A Technical Section [2], linking to all SmartHG Web Services of the SmartHGIntelligent Automation Services (IASs) and to the Panoramic Power dashboard [3],which contains the energy usage of the individual homes monitored in the projectpilot sites, and moreover showing aggregated and anonymized experimental resultsof SmartHG services.

Security and privacy issues have been duly taken into account in selecting the projectdata that can be made public through the project website.

General section of SmartHG website has been realized in Joomla 3.1 [4]. Joomla isa free software package that allows easy publishing, managing and organizing of a widevariety of contents on a website. The choice of Joomla software is sustained by thefollowing peculiarities:

� It provides �exibility, scalability and simplicity for the website construction, contentgeneration, general maintenance and upgrades;

� It o�ers a user-friendly interface to navigate;

� Documentation, and a community of developers provide technical support;

� It is an open source solution (General Public License (GNU) [5]), therefore it is free.

We have modi�ed the standard Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of the template used forthe rendering of the website. In particular, we have used the color with web-safe hexcode #0088CC for titles and links (according to the project logo color), the color withweb-safe hex code #CCFFFF for modules background and the color with web-safe hexcode #F2F2F2 for footer background.

Experimental results are available to all users (as they are aggregated and anonymizedthere are no privacy issues) while only users with private and secure username and pass-word can log in to the SmartHG services and to the Panoramic Power dashboard.

The detailed description of SmartHG services design can be found in DeliverablesD3.2.1 and D4.2.1 whereas the actual implementation has been described in DeliverablesD3.2.2 and D4.2.2.

Next section describes of the Panoramic Power dashboard frontend.

4.2 Panoramic Power Dashboard

In this section we describe the Panoramic Power Dashboard. The following sections aretaken from the Panoramic Power Power Radar software user manual. The Power Radarcloud based software is a commercial product which will be used as a tool to view, analyse,export, and create alerts and reports for the project data. The software dashboard willbe con�gured and extended to support and display the project data as will be de�ned bythe project speci�cations. All IP rights concerning the Power Radar software belong toPanoramic Power.

4.2.1 Getting Started

The Panoramic Power Dashboard is designed to monitor energy consumption across allsites. Energy consumption can also be compared to ambient or outside temperature, such

16


as the temperature inside a monitored room or inside a machine (e.g. refrigerator), takenby a special sensor, to check whether the consumption is congruent with its results.

4.2.1.1 Logging In

Follow these steps:

1. Access the URL delivered to you.

2. Enter your Username and Password (see Figure 4.3) and click OK.

The dashboard is displayed.

4.2.1.2 The Dashboard

Click the Dashboard button (selected by default when you log on to the system). Thedashboard provides a �one-glance� view of the energy consumption in one or multiplesites.

Single Site (for the individual home owners) If you are a home owner, and areviewing only your own home, the single-site screen appears.

The dashboard displays the following information:

Site Total Displays the total consumption over the entire monitored site, and thecorresponding money value. The maximum value shown in the gauge is based on theaverage of the last four similar days, i.e. four last Sundays or four last Mondays etc.,plus 40%. The values are shown for Today and Yesterday. Today's value refers tothe consumption recorded since midnight. The Carbon Footprint �eld displays thequantity of CO2 generated by the indicated consumption.

Monthly Shows the monthly energy consumption as described in Table 4.1.

Filter Categories Pane In any category, click a branch to include in the display theconsumption registered for that branch and all of its descendants. For example, if youselect All Sites, the overall consumption for all the monitored sites is plotted.

The categories listed in Table 4.3 are shown.

Category DescriptionAll Sites Each of its sub-branches refers to a site.View List Each of its sub-branches refers to a consumption type, such as

Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Mains etc.

Table 4.3: Filter categories

View List Pane, the Filter Box and My Views The View List displays circuitsor groups of circuits included in the sites selected in the Filter Categories pane. Clickan entry to plot the consumption of that particular circuit or circuit group. In View Listyou can select multiple entries using Shift-click and Ctrl-click.

If the number of entries is too large, you can reduce the display to the desired entriesonly. To do so, start typing the name of the entry in the Filter box (see Figure 4.9) theFilter Categories pane.

Figure 4.9: Filter box

The most recent selections in View List are accumulated in the Recents drop-downlist for quicker reselection.

Period Filter and Period Selection Open the Period drop-down list and select theperiod you want to examine.

You can select a ready-made period or pick Speci�c Dates and select the period youwant: in From click the start date and in To click the end day of the period.

21


The X axis changes accordingly.After selecting the period �lter, the chart defaults to the latest period (until today).

To view previous/next periods, click the back/forward arrow next to the date �eld in thechart title bar (see Figure 4.10).

Figure 4.10: Date �eld

Each click moves the display by entire periods - days, weeks, months, depending onthe selection you made in Period.

To jump to a particular day, click the Select chart date button, select the dayand click Generate.

If you select the Weekly period, picking a day shifts the display to the week thatincludes it.

Show By Filter You can display the selected chart by di�erent measures such as power,energy, current or hourly cost. Open the Show By drop down list and select the typeyou want.

Percentage Display For energy and cost, you can show the values as percentages:

Click the Show percentage values button to display the energy or cost data inpercentages on the X-axis. This is true in Normalization mode. Otherwise it appears onthe Y axis. Once clicked, the button changes to Show absolute values: click it againto restore the energy or cost values.

4.2.2.3 Normalization and Standard Lines

Normalization is designed to check consumption against a number of parameters, such asarea (square feet) or working hours. This feature allows you to quickly detect abnormalconsumption that cannot be otherwise discovered � such as a relatively small shop con-suming a large amount of energy per square-feet, or a relatively high cost per non-activehour.

Consumption can be compared against a target (standard line), such as average con-sumption. For example, you can compare the consumption registered in a shop, in a siteconsisting of multiple shops, to the average consumption of the entire site chain.

Panoramic Power provides a number of ready-made normalization and standard linescriteria but you can create your own as well.

Viewing Normalized Data Follow these steps:

1. Select Performance, Consumption Details, Show By: Energy or Cost, andthen click the Normalization and Standard Lines bar on the far right (seeFigure 4.11).

2. Check the Use normalizations box.

22


Figure 4.11: Normalization and Standard Lines bar

3. Open the Normalized by list and select the normalization factor you want andexamine the chart: the X axis now shows the factor you selected.

The following normalization factors are supplied by default:

� Area: Shows energy consumption or cost (depending on what you selected in Showby) by square feet or square meter, according to the measurement unit de�ned inthe account.

� Opening Hours: Shows the energy consumption or cost by activity hours, asde�ned in the site calendar.

Creating a Normalization Factor A user-de�ned normalization divides the energyconsumption or cost by a number. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings, Account Settings.

2. Select Performance Display.

This creates a normalization factor that will apply to all of your sites. See belowfor details about individual sites.

3. In the Normalization Factors panel, click the New button.

4. In the new row that opens now, enter a name for this factor.

5. In Value, enter a number by which you want to divide the energy consumption orcost.

6. Press Enter to save your entries.

7. Go to Performance, Consumption Details.

8. In Show By select Energy or Cost.

9. Click the Normalization and Standard Lines bar, check Use Normalization,open the Normalized by list and select the factor you have just created.

The chart changes and the X-axis now shows the energy or cost divided by thefactor for the period and other �lters you have selected.

23


Individual sites inherit the normalization factor created underPerformance Display.You can change the factor for individual sites:

1. Under Settings, Account Settings, go to Site Management.

2. Click the site and then click the Edit button.

3. In the Normalization Factors panel, double click the value and type a di�erentone.

4. Press Enter to save the change.

Now, whenever you select the speci�c site in the Consumption Details screen,the normalization factor applied (when selected) will be the modi�ed one.

Viewing Consumption Compared to a Target (Standard Lines) The viewingprocedure is identical to the one explained for normalization, only in the Normalizationand Standard Lines panel open the Show line/s list and select the line you want. Forexample, if you select Median, the chart shows the median consumption (or cost) linewherever it falls on the chart bar or line (see Figure 4.12).

Figure 4.12: Median consumption

The list includes the following pre-de�ned standard lines:

� Average: Shows the average energy consumption or cost.

� Median: Shows the median energy consumption or cost.

� Median25: Shows the median energy consumption or cost of the 25 percent leastconsuming (best performing) sites.

Creating Standard Lines Standard lines allow you to check the energy or cost thatshould have been consumed, in comparison to a target. Let's assume that you havea yearly consumption target of 100,000 dollars and you want to know if your currentconsumption does not show a trend towards exceeding the budget.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings, Account Settings.

2. Select Performance Display.

3. In the Standard Lines panel, click the New button.

4. In the new row that opens now, enter a name for this standard line.

5. In Value, enter 100,000.

6. In Units, select the dollar unit.

7. Press Enter to save your entries.

8. Go to Performance, Consumption Details.

9. Select Show By: Cost and Period: Yearly.

10. Click the Normalization and Standard Lines bar, check Use Normalization,open the Show line/s list and select the standard line you have just created.

The line now shows what your consumption should have been since the beginningof the year in order to meet the budgetary target, while the bar chart shows theactual consumption.

Note the following:

� You can create standard lines for any combination of values and units of measure �such as power consumption per square feet.

� The Value you enter represents a consumption per a speci�c period: day, month,year, or other. You select the period in the Performance Details screen. This isimportant: if you select a Period that does not represent the Value you entered,the results will not be accurate.

� In the Show line/s list you will see only the standard lines whose unit of measurecorresponds to what you have selected in Show By. For example, a money line willnot show on the list if you select Energy.

Combining Criteria In the Normalization and Standard Lines panel, you canselect multiple normalization factors and multiple standard lines simultaneously and seethe combined results on the chart. In the drop-down lists select the entries you want byclicking them. Remove an entry by clicking it again.

Note that, if you select the normalization factorArea, only the kWh/Sqr. ft. standardlines will appear on the list for selection. You need to match the standard lines to theunit shown on the X-axis.

Display Options In the Normalization and Standard Lines panel, you can set thedisplay to one of the options listed in the Shows drop-down list:

On hours only Limits the chart to energy consumption/cost during activity hoursonly.

O� hours only Limits the chart to energy consumption/cost during non-activehours only.

Divided view Shows both on hours and o� hours data, each with a di�erent color.Point to a bar to display a tooltip that shows its details (see Figure 4.13).

Figure 4.13: Details bar tooltip

Combined view Combines the on hours and o� hours data into a single bar.

4.2.2.4 Periodic Overlay

This category allows you to show comparative consumption data by periods. The graphsof the di�erent periods are superimposed on each other to provide a comparative view ata glance (see Figure 4.14).

Figure 4.14: Comparative consumption view

After choosing the period, select the Number of Periods you want to show on thesame chart.

The other �ltering options are the same as those explained for Consumption Details.

4.2.2.5 Heat Map

In this category, consumption is presented as a �heat� intensity map, with higher con-sumption shifting towards red and lower consumption shifting towards green (see Figure4.15).

26


Figure 4.15: Consumption heat map

The data is shown per hour across the last 20 days. Change the date to show adi�erent set of days.

Point to a cell to show the consumption for that hour (see Figure 4.16).

Figure 4.16: Hourly consumption detail

The �ltering options are the same as those explained for Consumption Details, onlyin this case they are limited to the functions that are relevant to the type of the display.

4.2.2.6 Exporting Performance Data

You can export the plotted values to a comma-separated text �le (.csv), which can alsobe opened in Excel. The export function is available in the Performance module.

1. In any of the Performance (or other) sub-tabs, click the Export to csv �leicon (see Figure 4.17).

2. You can export the data accumulated during a period: In Start and End enter thestart date and end date of the period.

3. In Resolution, select, in terms of frequency, the values you want to export.

For example, if you select 1 hour, the values registered at the beginning of eachhour will be exported.

27

4. In Unit, select the type of the values to export � current, power consumption, costor energy consumption.

You can select to add the external temperature.

5. Click Export.

If you have Excel on your computer, the exported data is now displayed in Excelwhere you can save the �le.

The resulting �le contains the following columns:

� Time Stamp (UTC): The beginning of the period in standard Unix time formatin the UTC (GMT) time zone. This is the number of seconds that elapsed sincemidnight of January 1st, 1970.

� Excel Time: The same time stamp represented in internal Microsoft Excel timeformat. Select the column and then select the Custom format and, under it, theformat dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.

� Data columns: The column names correspond the chart's series and the values tothe data points.

When the exported chart is a Daily, Weekly or Monthly chart referring to a recent period,some rows will carry zero values. This happens when the period you speci�ed includesfuture dates.

4.2.2.7 Panoramic Power Mobile App

Description Panoramic Power System monitors electrical energy consumption at indi-vidual circuit level and detects excess usage allowing organizations to identify and reduceenergy and maintenance expenses.

The Mobile Web App (see Figure 4.18) is designed to monitor energy consumptionat individual sites and across all sites . Energy consumption can also be compared toambient or outside temperature, such as the temperature inside a monitored room orinside a machine (e.g. refrigerator).

28

Conclusions

In this deliverable we described the second year version of the project Web-site, as partof the dissemination activities of WP7. Namely, during the second year iteration of WP7activities, in order to improve the usability and the utility of the website, the SmartHGpublic project website (general section) has been re�ned. It now contains up-to-dateinformation about the project and its public results.

The technical section of the project website has also been designed, implementedand published. It consists of a Web Page linking to all SmartHG Web Services and showsaggregated and anonymised experimental results of SmartHG services. From the technicalsection it is also possible to access the Panoramic Power dashboard, which showcases thedata gathered from project test-beds.

5.1 Advancements, Limitations and Future Work

In this section we compare the current status for the project web-site with the �rst yearversion, then we discuss limitations and future work.

Advancements with respect to First Year Project Web-Site W.r.t. to the �rstyear version shown in Figure 1.1, the project Web-site has been dramatically improved inreadability and in completeness of public information available. Moreover, the TechnicalSection of the project web-site was not present (nor planned) in the �rst year.

Limitations of Second Year Project Web-Site and Planned Future Work forThird Year In the next iteration, we plan to add to the technical section of SmartHGproject website a public demo/showcase of project results, understandable by a wide au-dience. Additional technical details will be made available for specialists. These contentswill be made available also in Danish and Russian.
