Water Analytics and Intelligent Sensing For Demand Optimised Management: The WISDOM Vision and Approach

摘要

The FP7 WISDOM project aims to achieve a step change in water (and energy) savings via the integration of innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) frameworks to optimize water distribution networks and to enable change in consumer behaviour through innovative demand management and adaptive pricing schemes. The WISDOM approach couples sensor monitoring and communication systems with semantic modelling (using ontologies, to serve as intelligent linkages throughout the entire framework) and control capabilities to provide for near real-time management of urban water resources. The WISDOM framework will be modelled and simulated with initial testing at an experimental facility in France and in water facilities in Cardiff (UK) and La Spezia (Italy).
