“…Indeed, distributed co-simulation platforms allow even to easily include new software components (e.g., new algorithms or services) in a plug-and-play fashion, making the whole platform scalable and flexible. Finally, literature solutions lack the integration of IoT devices and third-party platforms, such as smart metering architectures [10], that can feed the algorithm to be tested with real-world data, even in (near-) real time.…”

In order to systematically shift existing control and management paradigms in distribution systems to new interoperable communication supported schemes in smart grids, we need to map newly developed use cases to standard reference models like Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM). From the other side, any new use cases should be tested and validated ex-ante before being deployed in the real-world system. Considering various types of actors in smart grids, use cases are usually tested using co-simulation platforms. Currently, there is no efficient co-simulation platform which supports interoperability analysis based on SGAM. In this paper, we present our developed test platform which offers a support to design new use cases based on SGAM. We used this platform to develop a new scheme for wide area monitoring of existing distribution systems under growing penetration of Photovoltaic production. Off-the-shelf solutions of state estimation for wide area monitoring are either used for passive distribution grids or applied to the active networks with wide measurement of distributed generators. Our proposed distribution state estimation algorithm does not require wide area measurements and relies on the data provided by a PV simulator we developed. This practical scheme is tested experimentally on a realistic urban distribution grid. The monitoring results shows a very low error rate of about 1 % by using our PV simulator under high penetration of PV with about 30 % error of load forecast. Using our SGAM-based platform, we could propose and examine an Internet-of-Things-based infrastructure to deploy the use case.

The Internet of Things (IoT) concept has met requirements for security and reliability in domains like automotive industry, food industry, as well as precision agriculture. Furthermore, System of Systems (SoS) expands the use of local clouds for the evolution of integration and communication technologies. SoS devices need to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities including service-oriented management and different QoS characteristics monitoring. Smart applications depend on information quality since they are driven by processes which require communication robustness and enough bandwidth. Interconnectivity and interoperability facilities among different smart devices can be achieved using Arrowhead Framework technology via its core systems and services. Arrowhead Framework is targeting smart IoT devices with wide applicability areas including smart building, smart energy, smart cities, smart agriculture, etc. The advantages of Arrowhead Framework can be underlined by parameters such as transmission speed, latency, security, etc. This paper presents a survey of Arrowhead Framework in IoT/SoS dedicated architectures for smart cities and smart agriculture developed around smart cities, aiming to outline its significant impact on the global performances. The advantages of Arrowhead Framework technology are emphasized by analysis of several smart cities use-cases and a novel architecture for a telemetry system that will enable the use of Arrowhead technology in smart agriculture area is introduced and detailed by authors.

In order to change the traditional fault diagnosis form and realize on-line fault diagnosis, a fault diagnosis architecture of box transformer substation based on Internet of Things(IoT) technology is proposed. This architecture is a three-layer fault diagnosis framework of box transformer substation including the perception layer, the transport layer and the application layer. This paper analyzes the online fault diagnosis process of box transformer substation under the IoT architecture and its key technologies. Through the IoT technology to realize the collection of information data and online fault diagnosis of box transformer substation operation, the box transformer substation can be processed quickly, in real time and accurately when it fails, to prevent system fluctuations and catastrophic accidents, and provide necessary basis for planned maintenance, so as to extend the service life of box transformer substation and improve the operation efficiency.
