An Embedded Internet of Energy Communication Platform for the Future Smart Microgrids Management

Microgrids (MGs) are moving toward electric power systems in a sort of an Internet of Energy (IoE) where a large number of generators can be connected anywhere. In this regard, to realize the envisioned IoE, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are crucial for developing innovative applications and services as well as achieving high levels of efficiency in MGs. However, due to the variety of ICT, there is not a de facto standard solution to implement IoE platforms. Moreover, standards for the current Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are not optimal for developing IoE platforms, which present more demanding challenges. In such context, this paper presents an embedded IoE platform for management of smart MGs. The performance of this platform has been tested in an experimental MG. Results show that the proposed platform fulfills the MGs requirements and it is able to manage the energy flows, the safety issues, etc. in MGs.
