Abstract In this work, an open source platform, based on the FIWARE software framework and other open source components, is used to perform experimental cloud control on two use cases from the smart building and smart grid domains. All communication between the platform and the field layer is realized via the public internet and therefore encryption, authentication, and authorization measures are installed. In the first use case, the supply temperature of a conventional heating circuit is controlled as it is a common task in building energy systems. In the second use case, the power balance of a simulated microgrid is monitored by real phasor measurement units and a controller is used to maintain grid stabilty. The suitability of the platform is validated using requirements derived from literature. The platform is applicable to both use cases. Though, limitations and prospective areas for improvement are identified.
Highlights Cloud-control for a real conventional heating circuit and a real phasor measurement unit coupled with a microgrid simulation. All communication between devices, controllers, and the platform apply encryption, authentication, and authorization. The platform relies entirely on open source components and open standards to avoid possible vendor dependencies.
