Intelligent Energy [IQe], it is application driven area that will be led by Dr. Mischa Dohler and it will be devoted to research on topics such as smart grid, power internet, green radio, cool silicon, energy efficiency. The prime focus of IQe group will be on how to use the ICT sector to facilitate intelligent use of energy. The immediate focus is on Smart Grids which implies that the efficiency of the functional blocks to deliver and manage natural resources is optimized. The provision of resources is core to the current resource grids for electricity, water, gas, among others. An optimization of the use and distribution of said grids has only very recently been acknowledged and is traded under the name of Smart Grids or the Power Internet. The monitoring of the resources is achieved by means of sensors and actuators, conveniently traded through the names of Embedded Systems, Wireless Sensor Networks or, more generally, Machine-to-Machine.
