Smart grid, smart metering, electromobility, and the regulation of the power network are keywords of the transition\nin energy politics. In the future, the power grid will be smart. Based on different works, this article presents a data\ncollection, analyzing, and monitoring software for a reference smart grid. We discuss two possible architectures for\ncollecting data from energy analyzers and analyze their performance with respect to real-time monitoring, load peak\nanalysis, and automated regulation of the power grid. In the first architecture, we analyze the latency, needed\nbandwidth, and scalability for collecting data over the Modbus TCP/IP protocol and in the second one over a RESTful\nweb service. The analysis results show that the solution with Modbus is more scalable as the one with RESTful web\nservice. However, the performance and scalability of both architectures are sufficient for our reference smart grid and\nuse cases.
