Event-based hybrid metering feeding AMI and SCADA

This article presents an industrial application in which event-based smart meters supplies datasets feeding the Advanced Metering Infrastructure, legacy billing procedures, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems of smart grid. New generation hybrid meters interoperate by using the FI-WARE architectural framework personalized by FINESCE team in the context of Cloud-based Service-Oriented Architecture made available by the Future Internet Public-Private-Partnership. Authors illustrate an opportunity to make observable each node of the Low Voltage energy distribution topology by using new event-based real time toolkit. In this industrial use case, event-based meters fed billing subsystem at regular time intervals, and supplies statefull events in real-time to the control system. This way, both event-based and timer-based datasets are conveyed to the FI-WARE cloud first, that directs them to the respective recipients by using publish-subscribe features and Big Data tools.
