Model-Driven Interoperability Layer for Normalized Connectivity Across Smart Grid Domains

Towards a Model-Driven-Architecture Process for Smart Grid Projects

The complexity in electrical power systems is continuously increasing due to its advancing distribution. This affects the topology of the grid infrastructure as well as the IT-infrastructure, leading to various heterogeneous systems, data models, protocols, and interfaces. This in turn raises the need for appropriate processes and tools that facilitate the management of the systems architecture...

Achieving Smart Grid Interoperability through Collaboration

Numerous analyses, including the “Prism” analysis at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), show that energy conservation and distributed resource integration are critical elements of an overall strategy to reduce carbon emissions. The smart grid is the enabling infrastructure that makes much higher levels of distributed resource integration possible. The value is maximized by leveraging...

Semantic Interoperability for Smart Grid - CIM Adoption Process

The WorldGrid transatlantic testbed: a successful example of Grid interoperability across EU and U.S. domains

The European DataTAG project has taken a major step towards making the concept of a worldwide computing Grid a reality. In collaboration with the companion U.S. project iVDGL, DataTAG has realized an intercontinental testbed spanning Europe and the U.S. integrating architecturally different Grid implementations based on the Globus toolkit. WorldGrid is an intercontinental testbed running a give...

Query-Driven Smart Grid City Management

33 We witness a revolution that capitalizes on the prevalence of networked (embedded) devices ranging from simple ones, such as sensors, to complex Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), in order to empower a new generation of innovative anytime-anywhere services. The CPS revolution enables system interconnection and fine-grained information acquisition at unprecedented scales. The analytics of CPS data...
