Real-time and Interoperable Software for Smart Grid Mission-Critical Functions using Open-Source Platforms

A coherent proposal is presented, delineating the essential characteristics that must be met by a realtime and interoperable software solution that encompasses the critical functions of the smart grid, particularly through the utilization of open-source platforms. The document presents several potential development options, platforms, and open-source software; its primary objective is to provide the reader with a set of considerations for decision-making regarding the purchase or development of a software product of this type, as well as the minimum criteria that should be considered when choosing a full development option. The document reflects the author's experience.
