<p>In one embodiment, a system that provides distributed data collection for sensor networks in a utility grid comprises one or more data collection agents, one or more grid data collection service devices, and one or more points of use. The one or more data collection agents may be configured to generate grid data values that comprise raw grid data values, processed grid data values, and/or any combination thereof. The one or more data collection agents may be configured to communicate the grid data values using a communication network in the utility grid to the one or more grid data collection service devices, which may be configured to receive the grid data values in a time-synchronized manner, and to distribute the time-synchronized grid data values in substantially real-time to the one or more points of use.</p> |
