Co-Simulating the Internet of Things in a Smart Grid use case scenario

This paper presents a virtual environment for simulation and validation of IoT networks in real life scenarios. The virtual environment is used to generate simulation models for realistic situations with inputs from IoT use cases and their requirements. The interaction between discrete computing parts and continuous-time dynamic parts is demonstrated in a smart grid use case. However, the cross-domain interoperability between grid components and communication infrastructures is incorporated into the use case as well. The platform is developed within the VICINITY project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program.
