“…For the server part, instead of using proprietary hardware (with a proprietary operating system), we have decided to use an openly available board, i.e., a Raspberry Pi 3 [46]. 8 Raspberry Pi boards have been used in industrial environments for prototype and lab testing, and are currently expanding to real-world industrial deployments as well 9 .…”

“…The IEC 61850 standard proposes to use the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) as applicationlayer protocol, but it also encourages to use other protocols providing the freedom to developers to choose the most suitable for each scenario. The same applies to other standards such as IEC 61400 that proposes Web-Services (WS) -Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for its mapping [8]; in addition to the IEC recommendations, several other mappings have been proposed: Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) [9], combining CORBA and Data Distribution Service (DDS) [10], [11] and applying DDS [12]. Using Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) was first proposed in [13] and later expanded in [14].…”

Electrical substations are crucial elements of Smart Grids where they are mainly responsible for voltage transformations. However, due to the integration of distributed energy resources in the grid, substations now have to provide additional grid management capabilities which in turn require supervision and automation solutions for large low-voltage grids. A recurring challenge in such deployments are siloed systems that are due to non-interoperable communication protocols across substations: although most substations' communication is based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard, deployed legacy protocols lag behind modern communication technologies in terms of performance, hindering the full transition to lightweight protocols. This paper demonstrates that IEC 61850 can be fully mapped to the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) in combination with the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) format while improving system performance compared to existing alternatives (e.g. WS-SOAP and HTTP). On average, CoAP+CBOR needs 44% and 18% of the message size and 71% and 85% of the time compared to systems based on HTTP and WS-* Web Services, respectively-this is especially relevant for resource-constrained devices and networks in electrical grids. In addition, CoAP is based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, which supports system integration and interoperability through uniform identification and interaction. This approach fosters the standard-compliant integration of legacy platforms with modern substations as well as current IoT systems in neighboring domains such as building management and infrastructure automation systems.

“…Ref. [69] is one of the first attempts to map IEC 61850 on IoT protocol, CORBA, for SAS. However, security issues and satisfactory performance only in low-speed networks are weak points that make CORBA the unsuitable choice for time-critical and sensitive applications.…”

Since the smart grid deals with a large mass of data and critical missions, it requires ubiquitous, reliable, and real-time communication. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which has the potential of connecting all objects over the globe through the Internet, excels in providing robust information transmission infrastructure in the smart grid. There are a multitude of possible protocols, standards, and configurations for communication in the smart grid. A commonly applied communication standard IEC 61850 recommends the use of Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol for communication in Local Area Network (LAN) and eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) in Wide Area Network (WAN). However, a plethora of research on this topic compares the behavior of other IoT protocols and standard recommendations in the smart grid. On the other hand, the sky-rocketing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), especially in the form of micro grid, transformed the central control structure of the smart grid into a distributed style called Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). This new approach defined new communication requirements and more particular IoT protocol characteristic requirements. However, a limited number of the existing studies have considered IoT protocol characteristic requirements of the smart grid and its new control structures. In this paper, we initially investigate the communication requirements of the smart grid and introduce all IoT protocols and their specifications. We analyze IoT protocol characteristics and performances in the smart grid through literature review based on the smart grid communication requirements. In this approach, we highlight weak points of these practices making them fail to acquire the holistic guidelines in utilizing proper IoT protocol that can meet the smart grid environment interaction requirements. Using the existing facilities, the public Internet, we follow the arrangement of cost-effective high penetration communication requirements for new structures of the smart grid, i.e., the MAS and multi-micro grid. In this case, we consider IoT protocol Quality of Services (QoS) requirements, especially in the case of security and reliability, to satisfy stakeholders, namely utilities and prosumers. Addressing effective elements in applying IoT in the smart grid’s future trends is another contribution to this paper.

“…A new generation of manufacturing systems referred to as "intelligent manufacturing systems" and "agentoriented manufacturing" paradigm have been extensively studied in recent years [2][3][4][5]. There is a tendency to use intelligent, programmable I/O devices connected directly to sensors and actuators interconnected by peer-to-peer networks [6][7][8].…”

In this paper we present preliminary results of the ongoing research of a new industrial control system with a special stress on user interfaces and data representation. The main focus of our research is the combination of traditional control interfaces for manufacturing machines with new ubiquitous services, handheld computers and Virtual Reality installations. Our system can support both industrial operators and managers by providing them with a new powerful tool, which can help them monitoring their environment and supervise production processes in a very convenient way. We also describe a miniature simulation model produced for development purposes. The research has been performed within the framework of EU-supported project INT-MANUS.
