Many efforts are oriented toward the deployment of the EVs infrastructures, including those dedicated to intelligent transportation and electro-mobility as well. For instance, many Moroccan organizations are collaborating to deploy charging stations in mostly all Moroccan cities. Furthermore, in Morocco, EVs are tax-free, and their users can charge for free their vehicles in any station. However, customers are still worried by the driving range of EVs. For instance, a new driving style is needed to increase the driving range of their EV, which is not easy in most cases. Therefore, the need for a companion system that helps in adopting a suitable driving style arise. The driving range depends mainly on the battery{\textquoteright}s capacity. Hence, knowing in advance the battery{\textquoteright}s state-of-charge (SoC) could help in computing the remaining driving range. In this paper, a battery SoC forecasting method is introduced and tested in a real case scenario on Rabat-Sal{\'e}-K{\'e}nitra urban roads using a Twizy EV. Results show that this method is able to forecast the SoC up to 180 s ahead with minimal errors and low computational overhead, making it more suitable for deployment in in-vehicle embedded systems. {\textcopyright} 2022 by the authors.}, keywords = {electric vehicle, forecasting method, Morocco, transportation}, doi = {10.3390/su14169993}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85137735443\&doi=10.3390\%2fsu14169993\&partnerID=40\&md5=95a2dbf1fda5d9cc89e011adc1137835}, author = {NaitMalek, Y. and Najib, M. and Lahlou, A. and Bakhouya, M. and Gaber, J. and Essaaidi, M.} } @article {Kharbouch2022, title = {Internet-of-Things Based Hardware-in-the-Loop Framework for Model-Predictive-Control of Smart Building Ventilation}, journal = {Sensors}, volume = {22}, number = {20}, year = {2022}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {In this work, a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) framework is introduced for the implementation and the assessment of predictive control approaches in smart buildings. The framework combines recent Internet of Things (IoT) and big data platforms together with machine-learning algorithms and MATLAB-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) programs in order to enable HIL simulations. As a case study, the MPC algorithm was deployed for control of a standalone ventilation system (VS). The objective is to maintain the indoor Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration at the standard comfort range while enhancing energy efficiency in the building. The proposed framework has been tested and deployed in a real-case scenario of the EEBLab test site. The MPC controller has been implemented on MATLAB/Simulink and deployed in a Raspberry Pi (RPi) hardware. Contextual data are collected using the deployed IoT/big data platform and injected into the MPC and LSTM machine learning models. Occupants{\textquoteright} numbers were first forecasted and then sent to the MPC to predict the optimal ventilation flow rates. The performance of the MPC control over the HIL framework has been assessed and compared to an ON/OFF strategy.

More than half of which is used by active systems, such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These latter are responsible for the occupants{\textquoteright} well-being and considered among the main consumers of electricity in buildings. In order to improve both occupants{\textquoteright} comfort and energy efficiency in buildings, optimal control oriented models, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), have proven to be promising techniques for developing intelligent control strategies for building energy management systems. This paper presents a real-time predictive control approach of an air conditioning (AC) system for thermal regulation in a single-zone building using MPC control framework. The proposed approach takes into account the physical parameters of the building, weather predictions (i.e. ambient temperature and solar radiation) and time-varying thermal comfort constraints to maintain optimal energy consumption of the AC while enhancing occupants{\textquoteright} comfort. For this purpose, a control-oriented thermal model for a room integrated with AC system is first developed using physics-based (white box) technique and then used to design and develop the MPC controller model. A numerical case study has been investigated and simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reducing the energy consumption by about 68\% while providing a significant indoor thermal improvement. A conventional On{\textendash}Off controller was used as a baseline reference to evaluate the system performance against the proposed approach. {\textcopyright} 2022}, keywords = {Building energy management systems, Building Thermal models, Buildings, Conditioning systems, Control approach, Controllers, energy efficiency, Energy management, Energy management systems, Energy utilization, Energy-consumption, Heating, Heating ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC, Model predictive control, Model-predictive control, Occupant comforts, Predictive control, Predictive control systems, Thermal energy, Thermography (temperature measurement), ventilation and air conditioning system}, doi = {10.1016/j.egyr.2022.07.037}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85134798712\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.egyr.2022.07.037\&partnerID=40\&md5=24dfba21dfceacb7c034ce19fec5ffec}, author = {Berouine, A. and Ouladsine, R. and Bakhouya, M. and Essaaidi, M.} } @article {NaitMalek2021, title = {Embedded Real-time Battery State-of-Charge Forecasting in Micro-Grid Systems}, journal = {Ecological Complexity}, volume = {45}, year = {2021}, note = {cited By 2}, abstract = {Micro-grid systems (MGS) are increasingly investigated for green and energy efficient buildings in order to reduce energy consumption while maintaining occupants{\textquoteright} comfort.

In fact, MGS can be seen as complex systems composed of different heterogeneous entities that interact dynamically and in collective manner in order to balance between energy efficiency and occupants{\textquoteright} comfort. However, the uncertainty and intermittency of energy production and consumption requires the development of real-time forecasting methods and predictive control strategies. The State-of-Charge (SoC) of batteries is one of the main parameters used in MGS predictive control algorithms. It indicates how much energy is stored and how long MGS can be relying on deployed storage devices. Several methods have been developed for SoC estimation, but little work, however, has been dedicated for SoC forecasting in MGS. In this paper, we focus on advancing MGS predictive control through near real-time embedded forecasting of batteries SoC. In fact, we have deployed, on two platforms, two forecasting methods, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Their accuracy and performance have been evaluated in both classical batch mode and streaming mode. Extensive experiments have been conducted for different forecasting horizons and results are presented using two main metrics, the accuracy and the computational time.

Endogenous features represent electric vehicles{\textquoteright} characteristics, whereas exogenous ones represent its surrounding context, such as traffic, weather, and road conditions. In this paper, a speed forecasting method based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is introduced. The LSTM model training is performed upon a dataset collected from a traffic simulator based on real-world data representing urban itineraries.

We put more emphasize on battery system{\textquoteright}s characterization, modeling, SoC estimation and its integration into MG systems in order to study its performance. In fact, an instrumentation platform, composed of recent and low cost sensing and actuating equipment, is developed in order to identify the battery{\textquoteright}s parameters and then build the battery model. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results, and thus the battery model is validated in both charging and discharging processes. Then, the battery{\textquoteright}s SoC estimation in both charging and discharging processes is investigated by means of sophisticated methods, such as, Artificial Neural Network, Luenberger observer and Kalman Filter combined with Coulomb counting. The results of these methods are reported and compared to the SoC estimated using the Coulomb counting method in order to end up with the precise method. The modeled battery is afterwards integrated into an MG system, which is deployed into our EEBLab (Energy Efficient Building Laboratory) test-site, for simulation and experimental investigations. Finally, the four algorithms for SoC estimation are included into the instrumentation platform, which is connected to a Lead-acid battery already integrated into the MG system, in order to show and compare their performances and accuracy for online battery{\textquoteright}s SoC estimation. {\textcopyright} 2020 Elsevier Ltd}, keywords = {Battery management systems, Battery state of charge, Charging (batteries), Coulomb counting method, Discharging process, energy efficiency, Energy efficient building, Experimental investigations, Intelligent buildings, Lead acid batteries, Luenberger observers, Model and simulation, Neural networks, Online systems, Sensing and actuating}, doi = {10.1016/j.est.2020.101518}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85085273724\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.est.2020.101518\&partnerID=40\&md5=f5d31d6e8a0f90e2bec4e1dd9d7da9d8}, author = {Boulmrharj, S. and Ouladsine, R. and NaitMalek, Y. and Bakhouya, M. and Zine-Dine, K. and Khaidar, M. and Siniti, M.} } @article {Elkhoukhi2020, title = {A platform architecture for occupancy detection using stream processing and machine learning approaches}, journal = {Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience}, volume = {32}, number = {17}, year = {2020}, note = {cited By 15}, abstract = {Context-awareness in energy-efficient buildings has been considered as a crucial fact for developing context-driven control approaches in which sensing and actuation tasks are performed according to the contextual changes. This could be done by including the presence of occupants, number, actions, and behaviors in up-to-date context, taking into account the complex interlinked elements, situations, processes, and their dynamics. However, many studies have shown that occupancy information is a major leading source of uncertainty when developing control approaches. Comprehensive and real-time fine-grained occupancy information has to be, therefore, integrated in order to improve the performance of occupancy-driven control approaches. The work presented in this paper is toward the development of a holistic platform that combines recent IoT and Big Data technologies for real-time occupancy detection in smart building. The purpose of this work focuses mainly on the presence of occupants by comparing both static and dynamic machine learning techniques. An open-access occupancy detection dataset was first used to assess the usefulness of the platform and the effectiveness of static machine learning strategies for data processing. This dataset is used for applications that follow the strategy aiming at storing data first and processing it later. However, many smart buildings{\textquoteright} applications, such as HVAC and ventilation control, require online data streams processing. Therefore, a distributed real-time machine learning framework was integrated into the platform and tested to show its effectiveness for this kind of applications.

For example, information extracted from data gathered using mobile phones and embedded computers in buses and taxis could be used to understand city dynamics in real-time and therefore take mitigation actions. However, gathering and real-time processing of relevant information is still a challenging task. Complex-event processing (CEP) techniques and predictive analytics have been recently proposed for analyzing streaming data in real-time in order to generate fast insights and then take suitable actions according to the environment changes. The work presented in this paper focuses mainly on the performance evaluation of three CEP engines widely used by researchers for semantic and physical streaming data processing. Experiments have been conducted using existing benchmark tools and results are reported to shed more light on the performance these engines for stream data processing. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/CloudTech.2016.7847726}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85013751287\&doi=10.1109\%2fCloudTech.2016.7847726\&partnerID=40\&md5=35e83758caf7164a4e2826c267fb217b}, author = {Lachhab, F. and Bakhouya, M. and Ouladsine, R. and Essaaidi, M.} }
