Abstract

The interoperability between legacy systems and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) used by the Smart Grid has become an important issue, since each manufacturer can adopt a different standard. For the integration of legacy IEDs in a Smart Grid environment based on IoT, we introduce the SG2IoT (Legacy Smart Grid to IoT Protocol Integration Approach), which allows the coexistence of multiple IEDs in a scalable and flexible environment made possible by the SG-Cloud-IoT ecosystem. The evaluation of the proposal was carried out through prototyping atop a lab-premised testbed featuring real-world technologies, which aims at validating the proposed architecture and estimate the cost impact of the prototype use.

Keywords: Smart Grid, Legacy IED, Cloud Computing, IoT
