ITC / Software Engineering
The Software Engineering group (TASE) as a whole aims at developing efficient ways to produce better quality software in a predictable and economically sustainable way. With close collaboration with local industry, we ensure that research has practical value and teaching given by the research group is industry-relevant.
The TASE research group are currently engaged in, e.g., ProcemPlus ProCemPlus – SENECC, where the main objective is to study the formation of individual energy communities into broader business-oriented energy ecosystems through several research themes and concrete pilot-cases related to the development of energy communities and to analyze the role of microgrids and energy communities in the future energy ecosystem.
The role of the Software Engineering group is related to the design of the required information system and related software/platform economy. In, e.g., CityIoT we worked with data models involving energy. In project DisMa we have researched distributed management of electricity system, system architecture and control for distributed energy resources and microgrids. The SEIntS group is engaged in the KIEMI project, which aims to improve the energy efficiency of properties by finding the property and situation-specific ”energy minimum” – a situation where a minimum amount of energy is used while still preserving a comfortable environment within the building.
The goal is to improve the energy efficiency (via developing smart, portable, and cost-effective technical systems that can be utilized to enable energy savings) of older properties by means of new, innovative technical solutions. In the project, proof-of-concept demonstrations and prototype applications will be developed that illustrate how cost-effective, transparent, and modular solutions can be utilized to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
