Presenting a method, architecture, and implementation of a smart grid client domain that conforms to a platform for the Internet of Things to obtain data collection from sensor communication protocols

The customer domain of the smart grid naturally blends with smart home and smart building systems, but typical proposed approaches are “distributor-centric” rather than “customer-centric,” undermining user acceptance, and are often poorly scalable. To simplify interaction with nontechnical users, sensors and actuators are also described at a higher abstraction level, independent of the physical details and of the communication protocols. Developers, utilities, and businesses can use this higher abstraction level to provide additional services, as for example scheduling of energy usage by home appliances in response to dynamic changes of energy rates, based on power demand and availability on the grid, or on monitoring and managing power consumption in real time.
