Protocols for Integration of Internet of Things with Smart Grids

Abstract

At the Smart Grid (SG) upper levels - communications and metering - there are emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and new business models for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) data flows involving convergent communications (fixed and mobile) operators. In the context of a smart-home use case, this paper is approaching the interoperability of various intelligent sensors-transducers, actuators, data acquisition, processing instrumentation, etc. This paper presents a solution for mediating communication between different actors in a Smart Grid-based scenario.
