Proof-of-concept for a modularized OMNeT++ simulation environment based on Web Service on-demand module management.

Analysis of topology specific influences on scalability for different technologies and various traffic patterns for Smart Grid applications.

Exemplary analysis for suburban scenario with more than 10.000 different households combining detailed Home Area Networks has been presented.

On-going work focuses on the evaluation of different technologies for the presented use cases in order to obtain network planning heuristics for Smart Grid ICT networks and optimization approaches for existing infrastructures.
