Abstract

The Smart Grids requires distributed components to control the demand side. These components have to fulfill various requirements from communication issues to graphical user interfaces for monitoring and controlling. In this paper, we define high level requirements to software architectures for Customer Energy Management Systems and evaluate some existing solutions based on Java and OSGi. The conclusion shows, that there are some promising solutions available, although none of the evaluated frameworks fulfills all requirements.
