Intelligent Edge Computing for IoT-Based Energy Management in Smart Cities

In recent years, green energy management systems (smart grid, smart buildings, and so on) have received huge research and industrial attention with the explosive development of smart cities. By introducing Internet of Things (IoT) technology, smart cities are able to achieve exquisite energy management by ubiquitous monitoring and reliable communications. However, long-term energy efficiency has become an important issue when using an IoT-based network structure. In this article, we focus on designing an IoT-based energy management system based on edge computing infrastructure with deep reinforcement learning. First, an overview of IoT-based energy management in smart cities is described. Then the framework…
