Smart Grids for the masses: An Agent-Based system for remote measurement

Much has been advanced in the area of Smart Grids, and such progress has not been bigger only because related technology is usually restricted and often relies on proprietary components. Using the Agent-Based paradigm, we intend to build an open, scalable, interoperable Smart Grid architecture in complaince with the IEEE FIPA specifications. In this paper, we present a model for a remote measurement environment in order to validate the use of agent technology in Smart Grid for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems.
