文摘Since decades,the global electricity demand shows only one direction:a considerable constant increase every year.But the unlimited growth in energy consumption is discussed increasingly critical,not only primarily in terms of limitations but also in terms of more efficient,more intelligent,and more sustainable usage of energy.Energy-efficient technologies(EET)and renewable energy technologies are already in a competitive position in different markets,and they are also activelyembedded in scientific research. Meanwhile, enormous research on key points, such as smart home, smart cities, smart environments, and smart living in general, have been executed.
