Abstract :
A new wireless sensor and actuator network architecture for a district heating substation is presented. The implementation allows for new control algorithms to save substantial amounts of energy and therefore reduce waste and indirectly CO2 emissions. The wireless network uses TCP/IP all the way to the sensor level, which can enable a standardized service oriented architecture and the possibility to upgrade software of each node remotely over the Internet. New diagnostic services are also available to improve service and maintenance.
