“…Oliveira et al [57] describe how middleware can be encased as another software component in only one appliance especially built for Smart Grid scenarios. The authors claim that integration between middleware and already standardized protocols like Modbus (a standard oriented to industrial applications) that needs specific gateways when working in cooperation with other elements of the grid.…”

The integration of small-scale renewable energy 1 sources in the smart grid depends on several challenges that must 2 be overcome. One of them is the presence of devices with very 3 different characteristics present in the grid or how they can inter-4 act among them in terms of interoperability and data sharing. 5 While this issue is usually solved by implementing a middle-6 ware layer among the available pieces of equipment in order to 7 hide any hardware heterogeneity and offer the application layer 8 a collection of homogenous resources to access lower levels, the 9 variety and differences among them make the definition of what 10 is needed in each particular case challenging. This paper offers 11 a description of the most prominent middleware architectures for 12 the smart grid and assesses the functionalities they have, consid-13 ering the performance and features expected from them in the 14 context of this application domain.

“…Oliveira et al [38] introduced in their proposal the idea of encasing middleware in a device specifically designed with that purpose. They claim that even though some efforts have been done to include some devices to legacy protocols such as the Modbus protocol, which can be regarded as a standard for industrial networks, specific gateways are still needed for communications.…”

Abstract:The success of the smart grid relies heavily on the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and interoperability among the hardware elements that are present as part of either the smart grid itself or in a smaller size deployment, such as a microgrid. Therefore, establishing an accurate design for software architectures that guarantee interoperability and are able to abstract hardware heterogeneity in this application domain, along with a clearly defined procedure on how to implement and test a solution like this, becomes a desirable objective. This paper describes the requirements needed to design a secure, decentralized and semantic middleware architecture for microgrids and the procedures used to develop it, so that the mandatory software components that have to be encased by the solution, as well as the steps that should be followed to make it happen, become clear for any designer, software architect or programmer that has to tackle similar challenges. In order to demonstrate the usability of the ideas put forward here, two successful pilots where middleware solutions were created according to these principles have been described.

“…Oliveira et al [78] show in their work regarding middleware how it can be included as another software component in a single hardware device tailored for Smart Grid integration. One of the main issues that according to them is yet to be fully dealt with is the integration between devices and protocols such as Modbus (considered as an standard for the industry application domain), which would require special gateways in a deployment.…”
