SmartC2Net

Goal of SmartC2Net is to enable robust smart grid control utilizing heterogeneous third-party communication infrastructures. Robustness and interoperability thereby specifically target:Variability of network performance and its subsequent impact on (a) quality of the input data obtained from energy related information sources, and (b) timeliness/reactivity of the performed control actions as influenced by downstream communication to the actuators.Security threats due to additional network interfaces and the use of off-the-shelf communication technology.Seamless information exchange for heterogeneous infrastructures using IP based middleware functions for adaptive management and control
