Smart Network based on Smart Green for residential gas use

Abstract

The primary aim of this research was to thoroughly explore how the strategic integration of advanced communication technologies significantly improved energy systems. Specifically, we focused on the coordinated deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) and fiber optics. These technologies, combined with the installation of cutting-edge smart sensors, enabled real-time monitoring of gas flow and pressure. A crucial element of this project was also the development of resilient and predictive energy management systems, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This synergistic technological approach led to multifaceted improvements in efficiency. Firstly, it optimized gas distribution from central facilities directly to homes, effectively minimizing leaks and losses. This aspect is particularly vital for enhancing both efficiency and safety in urban environments like Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela. Secondly, the project revolutionized energy consumption within individual households. It empowered residents with the tools to manage their energy expenditure more consciously and effectively, fostering greater control over their usage. Our theoretical framework, which served as a foundational pillar for this investigation, was robustly built upon seminal works and pioneering studies within the energy sector. These authoritative sources were cited and thoroughly analyzed throughout the research. Key contributions included publications and reports from Gasnam (2024), which highlighted innovations in the vehicular and residential gas industries. We also drew upon technical analyses by Dimasa (2018), recognized for their expertise in fluid distribution engineering solutions, and research by Aqualia (2015), which offered valuable insights into the efficient management of water and energy resources. The collective perspectives and findings from these diverse sources provided a strong, cohesive, and current framework for our retrospective study, allowing us to gain a profound understanding of the trends and technological advancements that are shaping a path towards smarter and more sustainable gas consumption in residential settings.
