Abstract

The present document relates to a system for providing energy services in an energy grid using a cloud environment. The system comprises at least one control entity adapted to receive information from at least one of a plurality of energy grid elements and to operate the energy grid elements based on operational policies. One or more control interfaces are coupled with the energy grid elements. The control interfaces are adapted to transmit information provided by an energy grid element to a control entity and/or the control interfaces are adapted to receive information from the control entity to operate the energy grid element based on the information. The at least one control entity comprises a plurality of software modules which are hosted in the cloud environment, and the operational policies are stored in storage entities of the cloud environment to operate the energy grid elements according to the operational policies.
