Abstract [en]
This article provides an overview of recent research on edge-cloud architectures in hybrid energy management systems (HEMSs). It delves into the typical structure of an IoT system, consisting of three key layers: the perception layer, the network layer, and the application layer. The edge-cloud architecture adds two more layers: the middleware layer and the business layer. This article also addresses challenges in the proposed architecture, including standardization, scalability, security, privacy, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure maintenance. Privacy concerns can hinder the adoption of HEMS. Therefore, we also provide an overview of these concerns and recent research on edge-cloud solutions for HEMS that addresses them. This article concludes by discussing the future trends of edge-cloud architectures for HEMS. These trends include increased use of artificial intelligence on an edge level to improve the performance and reliability of HEMS and the use of blockchain to improve the security and privacy of edge-cloud computing systems.
