NRG-5: Resilience and high availability via Dispatchable Demand Response (DDR)

This demonstration creats decentraliìsed, communication demanding services such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure as a Service (AMIaaS), Dispatchable Demand Response as a Service (DDRaaS), Energy Infrastructure Fault Localization as a Service (FLaaS).

• Scenario: This scenario falls under the DSO service related to keep the grid balanced and demonstrate the 5G high levels requirements. It is tailored to prevent future problems, mitigate the current problems due to the demands of the customers or recover from a fault in a way that do not trigger further grid problems. To this purpose the DSO exploits the potential of incorporating electric vehicles (EVs) in a low voltage distribution network with  photovoltaic installations (PVs) batteries storages and DERs for minimizing mismatch between production and consumption of energy.  

In terms of ITU 5G functionalities, NGR-5 investigates: 

• mMTC via the vast number of smart meters.
• uMTC as most VNFs require real-time control of the smart energy services (e.g. drones, PMUs).
• Inclusion of xMEC VNF extensions for Terminals Self-Discovery (vTSD), Self-Organising Networks (vSON), Mobility Management Entity (vMME), Blockchains Processing (vBCP) and Authentication, Authorisation, and Accounting (vAAA)
