Introduction to Smart Grid Technologies

When we first started integrating renewable energy sources into our smart grid, we encountered a multitude of challenges. The primary issue was selecting the most suitable technology to facilitate seamless communication and data exchange between different components of the grid. After conducting an exhaustive review, we narrowed down our options to OpenFMB 2.1, IEC 61850, and IEEE 2030.5. In this article, I will share our experience with each technology, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and performance metrics.

OpenFMB 2.1: An Overview

OpenFMB is an open-source framework designed to enable interoperability between smart grid devices. We found that OpenFMB 2.1 offers a flexible and scalable architecture, making it an attractive choice for our use case. However, during implementation, we encountered issues with data modeling and configuration, which added complexity to our project.
