Event-Driven Communication in Smart Grid

The event-driven electricity metering method makes visible both processes and their components. It enables the detection and better understanding of processes that vary energy flows. The newly obtained process knowledge is shared grid-wide using communication channels. The changes in energy exchanges (processes) originate new information flows in smart grid. We use internal metering data to obtain meta-information needed to reduce said data flows. The paper explains the use of an event-driven communication method in metering.
