During the design phase the database selection was a key step: SQL, NO-SQL, or both? At the end the choice was to go to NO-SQL only selecting MongoDB: • General-purpose data acquisition layer schema-less databases best option for modeling different kind of objects • Data acquisition layer requires a large number of WRITE operations NO-SQL more promising for keeping constants the WRITE performances • Design for Cloud MongoDB scalability fits well with Cloud • Given the full JavaScript application stack (node.js + html5) a JSON based document database as MongoDB resulted to be the natural choices for the entire system

MQTT is a standard lightweight protocol adopting the publish/subscribe paradigm. MQTT is based on the topic concept; a topic is a stream of data coming from or going to a particular I/O of a particular device. So it can contain data from the field but also commands. The Feed Broker is the Monet module that collects the data. It contains a MQTT broker called Mosca. When a message arrives to the broker, the payload is stored as raw data in MongoDB.

Here an example on how we store raw data in the datapoints collection. { feedId: “ABCD” date: 16/01/2016 values: [ {v: 10, ts: 1452902400000}, {v: 20, ts: 1452903000000}, {v: 30, ts: 1452903600000} ] } { feedId: “ABCD”, v: 10, ts: 1452902400000 } { feedId: “ABCD”, v: 20, ts: 1452903000000 } { feedId: “ABCD”, v: 30, ts: 1452903600000} } VS Data pre-aggregation,1 document per day, has several advantages: Many fewer documents: 1 per day vs 1 per datapoint (hundreds of them!) Index space largely reduced, thus occupying less disk and RAM Less I/O operations working on just a single document All of this leads to overall better performance

Editor's Notes
- Good Morning. I am MB responsible of the Operations team in Digital Grid Software Solutions Italy. In my team we develop different kind of software solutions starting from SCADA systems up to energy management applications.
- Today I will talk about Digitalization and how it may enable our customers to convert threats into opportunities. Challenges like grid balancing, peak avoidance, grid resilience can be addressed by digitally enhanced electrification and automation systems and devices. I will focus on real-time data acquisition and data analysis for energy management – more precisely on how digitalization is an enabler for creating innovative energy services toward efficiency and demand-response.
- Let’s now talk about how to design an IT system that can provide such innovative services. In my opinion there are three key pillars: Adopt an IOT paradigm, that means standard protocols and general-purpose data acquisition layer allowing integration of a wide range of systems and devices. Among the different raising standards I would like to highlight two of them: MQTT and AMQP. Just to make some concrete examples – the two main cloud PaaS providers Amazon and Microsoft they both have IOT layers based respectively on MQTT and AMQP. Go on Cloud. I believe that going in the Cloud for such applications is a must. As consequence Software as a Service business model is most likely to be the natural choice. Here a micro-services architecture with independent small services guarantees the modularity, reliability, and scalability of the system. Real Time Analytics. Data needs to be analyzed if we want value them. What we really need is real-time aggregation and data analysis if we need to manage energy flows. We are not talking about monitoring and reporting only but we are talking about services that requires real-time decisions for implementing efficiency or demand-response functionality.
- Real-time data acquisition and data aggregation are enabler for energy efficiency advanced services; having: Real-time measures Load & Generation Profile/ Forecast User Preferences / Environmental data The EMS system can define rules to optimize energy consumption (minimize KWh) or to minimize energy costs (minimize €). Rule actions can be: Load Control/Shifting Storage Control Generation dispatching Comfort variables set points integrating Smart Buildings
- While optimization logics in terms of consumption or cost are the objective of a single stakeholder the system can also put together the needs of different stakeholders by supporting demand-profile workflows. This will allow the DSO or the Energy Vendor to agree a specific demand profile with the user (or an aggregation of users) implementing active demand scenarios. Scenarios covering different objectives, for instance: Grid emergency Peak shaving Electric mobility grid integration
- Most of the concepts I just introduced have been tested on a real scenario such as Milano Expo 2015. That was an unique opportunity to build a Smart City from green field: 1 million square meters area 75MW of planned power 145 countries present and 53 self-built pavilions In addition there is full fiber optics backbone connecting everything and a wifi for the public but also for the services. In this project Siemens is a strategic partner of Enel for the Smart Grid technology at EXPO Milano 2015.
- In details @ Expo we had: -100 Smart distribution substations -200 Smart meters in the delivery substations and in the pavilions LV lines -photovoltaic plants and energy storage -30 Smart Buildings with more than 300 room automation devices for climate and lighting management and load control -A public lighting system with more than 8 thousands lamps -50 electric vehicles charging units
- This slide represents the data flows implemented in the Expo project. First of all we have data coming from the network SCADA. Power measures from each substation every 5 minutes. Then we get data from each delivery – we have a GME meter on each MV/LV transformer – 15’ data via GSM. Then we get data from the main LV lines after the main power panel with the Smart Info devices – 5’ data via WiFi. Finally on specific loads we have multi-meter. We integrate also temperature & lighting sensors for which we get data every 5’.
- Here it is a reference architecture for an IOT based Energy Management System. From the bottom we have the so –called technical systems such as: Distribution network SCADA Smart Meters or Meter Data Management Systems Other systems that are typically in the Grid: public lighting, building management, electric mobility All these systems still require a Local Control that means that they have automation functionalities that have to be executed locally. But all these systems will send real-time data to the EMS system – data that are currently available by these kind of systems but that are still kept in the control rooms. Additionally we have devices, typically on the end-user side that can be also integrated in the EMS system. On the cloud dedicated services take care of the data acquisition and data analysis exposing their functionality via a standard REST API interface. The API can then be accessed by specific EMS web applications or by any other enterprise application.
- Here the conclusion. With Smart Grid we added an IT/communication network to the Electric Grid, now that we are moving in the IOT era we are going to integrate connected Things to the Smart Grid systems. In other words we are moving from Smart Grid to Digital Grid where innovative services will be reality soon.
