The smart grid revolution demands a huge effort in redesigning and enhancing current
power networks, as well as integrating emerging scenarios such as distributed generation,
renewable energies or the electric vehicle. This novel situation will cause a huge flood of
data that can only be handled, processed and exploited in real-time with the help of cutting-
edge ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). We present here a new
architecture that, contrary to the previous centralised and static model, distributes the …

Nowadays, the automation industry is focusing on smart grid (SG)-based distributed
architectures for safety improvement. These architectures show interoperability which
improves smart components that can reduce power consumption in energy management
systems. In the latest Industry 4.0 scenario, home-automation applications' privacy
requirements have captured a wide variety in industry and societal safety. It can have a
significant impact on the redesign and enhancements of power networks. These networks …
