ABSTRACT
Modern
internet of things technologies bear the promise of cheap, ubiquitous and
standard solutions for the smart grid. The end-to-end architecture relies upon
transverse service enablement and device connectivity platforms, LTE
communications solutions and communication gateways bridge the gap between 3GPP
standards and legacy communications solutions. This
paper will have a specific focus on the multi-services, multi-protocols
gateways that allow connection to legacy assets,
and how they are a critical component for the digitalization of power grids and
cities. We will illustrate how this gateway—called the Smart Grid Node—has
enabled Duke Energy (USA) to initiate its grid modernization project in
Cincinnati, Ohio. We will also show that the smart grid node is much more than
a communication gateway as it can host very diverse decentralized applications
and therefore be a key component to enable multi-services smart city nodes in
the near future.
