Modern smart grids face volatile distributed energy sources and changing operational constraints requiring adaptive response. This work innovates by introducing context-aware middleware that enables decoupling of software functionality from static hardware configurations, allowing dynamic adaptation of protection and control based on real-time system context and changing grid conditions.
This work examines the role of context and resilient middleware in next-generation smart grids. It presents intelligent devices and context-aware middleware enabling smart grid adaptation to changing operational requirements. The CHARIOT middleware platform provides goal-based system descriptions supporting adaptive protection and system reconfiguration in response to contextual changes.
The paper demonstrates CHARIOT's capability to model smart grid systems with context-driven reconfigurations through goal-based system descriptions. Case studies show adaptive protection mechanisms responding to equipment failures and changing system states. The framework validates that middleware-driven adaptation maintains system resilience without sacrificing functional correctness.

abstract = {The emerging trends of volatile distributed energy resources and micro-grids are putting pressure on electrical power system infrastructure. This pressure is motivating the integration of digital technology and advanced power-industry practices to improve the management of distributed electricity generation, transmission, and distribution, thereby creating a web of systems. Unlike legacy power system infrastructure, however, this emerging next-generation smart grid should be context-aware and adaptive to enable the creation of applications needed to enhance grid robustness and efficiency. This paper describes key factors that are driving the architecture of smart grids and describes orchestration middleware needed to make the infrastructure resilient. We use an example of adaptive protection logic in smart grid substations as a use case to motivate the need for contextawareness and adaptivity.},
