DPWS as Specific Communication Service Mapping for IEC 61850

The present article describes the development of a standard-based software infrastructure, supported by the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm, for the management of complex distributed energy systems where efficient energy production, distribution and consumption are considered. The work has been developed on the context of the NEMO&CODED project (NEMO) and focuses on NEMO's architectural aim to enable seamless device integration, with plug and play features and vendor independent concepts, using the IEC 61850 ACSI model and services and adopting DPWS as Specific Communication Service Mapping.
