Businesses grounded upon multisided platforms (MSPs) are found in a growing number of industries, thanks to the recent developments in Internet and digital technologies. Digital MSPs enable multiple interactions among users of different sides through information and communication technologies. The understanding of the characteristics and constituents of MSPs is fragmented along different literature streams. Moreover, very few empirical studies have been carried out to date. In order to fill this gap, this paper presents a three-level framework that describes a digital MSP. The proposed framework is based on literature analysis and multiple case study. On the one hand, the framework can be used to describe MSP as it provides an operationalization of the concept through the identification of specific dimensions, variables and items; on the other hand, it can be used as an assessment tool by practitioners, as exemplified by the three empirical applications presented in this paper.

Smart grids provide a digital upgradation of the conventional power grids by alleviating the power outages and voltage sags that occur due to their inefficient communication technologies and systems. They mainly tend to strengthen the efficiency, performance, and reliability of the traditional grids by establishing a trusted communication link between their different components through routing protocols. The conventional methods, i.e., the computer-based simulations and net testing, for analyzing these routing network protocols are error-prone and thus cannot be relied upon while analyzing the safety-critical smart grid systems. Formal methods can cater for the above-mentioned inaccuracies and thus can be very beneficial in analyzing communication protocols used in smart grids. In order to demonstrate the utilization and effectiveness of formal methods in analyzing smart grid routing protocols, we use the UPPAAL model checker to formally model the ZigBee-based routing protocol. We also verify some of its properties, such as, liveness, collision avoidance and deadlock freeness.

Concerns with global warming prompted many governments to mandate increased proportion of electricity generation from renewable sources. This, together with the desire to have more efficient and secure power generation and distribution, has driven research in the next-generation power grid, namely, the smart grid. Through integrating advanced information and communication technologies with power electronic and electric power technologies, smart grid will be highly reliable, efficient, and environmental-friendly. A key component of smart grid is the communication system. This paper explores the design goals and functions of the smart grid communication system, followed by an in-depth investigation on the communication requirements. Discussions on some of the recent developments related to smart grid communication systems are also introduced.

Effective usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has started with a paradigm shift in the energy management and functioning of the conventional power grid. It also aids in the maintenance of the complete information about consumer usage pattern, power storage, supply and regulation. Blending of information and communication technologies with energy management creates a smart grid environment which makes it move to the next horizon. The smart grid environment, uplifts renewable energy sources and brings out novel strategies in the energy market. The new functioning of the energy market attracts more utility companies for decentralized power generation and optimizes the power price for the consumer. The consumer plays an active role in the demand response modelling to maximize the welfare of the utility and to obtain the optimized price for their demand. In this paper, a novel demand response management scheme is proposed for multi-utility environment. The utility companies function in a peer to peer manner to communicate effectively and to select a specific utility from a set of utilities for the power supply. The selection of single utility is based on a non-cooperative game theory algorithm where the demand and generated power should be balanced to maximize the welfare of the utility and the residential consumers. The power price can be updated in an equal interval to allow all the utilities to participate in the Distributed Multi-Utility Demand Response Management (DMDRM) system. The simulated results justify that the distributed noncooperative game theory algorithm certainly maximizes the welfare of the utility companies and residential consumers.
