description This paper presents a novel solution in the field of the integration of the Smart Grid and the Internet of Things. The definition of a web platform able to offer a RESTful interface to IEC 61850 Servers to a generic user is proposed. The web platform enables the mapping of information maintained by an IEC 61850 Server into MQTT messages. Suitable mechanisms to introduce interoperable exchange of information were defined. The paper presents the main features offered by the proposed platform. The originality of the proposal is highlighted by comparing it with the current literature. A prototype was realized, and the software implementation choices are described and the main results of its evaluation are presented.
