  1. Enabling technologies Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a global infrastructure for the Information Society, enabling advanced services by IEEE International Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on, existing and evolving, interoperable information and communication technologies. Geographical Information System (GIS) is an advanced cartography that maps the geographical location of buildings, energy distribution networks and IoT devices. Middleware is distributed software to provide functionalities to aggregate and filter the received data from the hardware devices, perform information discovery and accessing devices. Cloud computing is an IT paradigm to enable ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable resources (e.g. servers, (ISGT 2017) storages and applications), which can be rapidly provisioned over the Internet.

  3. What is Flexmeter? Flexmeter is a flexible Smart Metering Infrastructure for multiple energy vectors with active prosumers. IEEE International Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Flexmeter is a distributed software to manage heterogeneous data- sources and perform (near-)real-time data processing by exploiting: multi-service to provide general purpose services; • substation meters to improve fault tolerance and demand • response capabilities considering local electric generation and storage; advanced Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) techniques to • profile user behaviours; demand response algorithms that exploit information about • energy flows from the meters and the NILM profiles.
