The Smart Grid promises to change the way end-users manage their energy needs, enabling the accommodation of renewable sources and pro-viding dynamic and flexible tariffs. These will vary through the day to reflect the actual availability of energy and the congestion conditions of the Power Grid. We present a vision of the services needed for the end-user to enable the Smart Grid in a Smart Home and we illustrate an imple-mentation simulating the behavior and services offered. The simulation is realistic in its offering of dynamic prices and services gathering the data from actual sources. The aim is to offer a testing platform and to show the potential benefits of dynamic pricing and energy self production, the impact on the user and the possibility to easily realize testbeds and pilot projects. We have tested the proposed Smart Grid services and Dynamic Pricing solution in a smart building experiment in an existing living lab. 1

Smart grid allows the integration of distributed renewable energy resources into the conventional electricity distribution power grid such that the goals of reduction in power cost and in environment pollution can be met through an intelligent and efficient matching between power generators and power loads. Currently, this rapidly developing infrastructure is not as "smart" as it should be because of the lack of a flexible, scalable, and adaptive structure. As a solution, this work proposes smart grid as a service (SGaaS), which not only allows a smart grid to be composed out of basic services, but also allows power users to choose between different services based on their own requirements. The two important issues of service-level agreements and composition of services are also addressed in this work. Finally, we give the details of how SGaaS can be implemented using a FIPA-compliant JADE multiagent system.
