Business Domain: Smart Campus Energy Management System

Business domain for a student team project that would be suitable for rendering in TypeScript as a distributed, edge computing Service Oriented application.

This domain will be designed to allow students to practice UML design and forward generate from UML Entities to TypeScript.

Overview:

The Smart Campus Energy Management System is designed to optimize energy usage across various buildings and facilities on a university campus.

This system leverages edge computing devices, IoT sensors, and a centralized management platform to monitor, analyze, and control energy consumption in real-time.

Key Components of this business domain, which you are going to write up on your 3x5 inch Index Cards:

Building Energy Monitors

Collect real-time data on energy consumption, temperature, occupancy, and lighting levels for each building

Communicate with central system via edge devices

Implement basic energy-saving routines based on local conditions

Renewable Energy Sources

Solar panels and wind turbines with output monitoring

Battery storage systems for excess energy

Integration with main power grid

Smart HVAC Control

Automating heating and cooling based on occupancy and weather forecasts

Zone-based temperature control

Maintenance scheduling based on usage patterns

Lighting Management

Automated lighting control based on natural light levels and occupancy

LED system with dimming capabilities

Motion sensors for low-traffic areas

Central Management Platform

Dashboard for real-time energy usage visualization

Predictive analytics for energy demand forecasting

Automated reporting and alerting system

Integration with campus event calendar for energy planning

User Engagement Module

Mobile app for students and staff to view and manage personal energy usage

Gamification elements to encourage energy-saving behaviors

Feedback system for reporting issues or suggesting improvements

Maintenance and Asset Management

IoT-enabled equipment monitoring

Predictive maintenance scheduling

Inventory management for replacement parts

Data Analysis and Machine Learning Module

Pattern recognition for identifying energy waste

Continuous system optimization based on historical data

Anomaly detection for identifying potential issues

This business domain provides a complex yet manageable scope for students to work with. It incorporates various aspects of distributed systems and edge computing, allowing for a rich UML design that can be forward-generated into TypeScript.

Students can model the system using UML diagrams such as:

Class diagrams for the main components

Sequence diagrams for interactions between edge devices and the central system

Use case diagrams for different user roles (e.g., administrators, maintenance staff, students)

Activity diagrams for processes like automated HVAC control or predictive maintenance

This domain also offers opportunities to implement TypeScript features like:

interfaces

generics,

decorators

making it an excellent learning opportunity for advanced TypeScript development in a distributed, Edge Computing, SOA system context.
