The devices to be deployed for deeper monitoring and new smart grid applications will necessarily have to be upgradeable to face new needs and adaptable to the evolving and growing cybersecurity threats.<br/>To avoid significant costs remote System Management capability is a necessity, as a huge number of equipment will have to be able to be patched, updated and reconfigured.This use case can be summarized as follows, these actions being available from remote information systems:<br/>1) Configuring: configure operational data, whether it be off line or on-line (grid topology, protection and PLC parameters…);<br/>2) Managing the software: download, upgrade and manage the firmware versions of automation equipment;<br/>3) Supervising: supervise live the smooth running of the system, and be able to identify diagnose and if possible suggest resiliency solutions in case of deficiency in order to ensure the required quality of service;<br/>4) Maintaining the system: collect data concerning the operational state of the equipment in order to be able to lead predictive analysis, launch maintenance actions and reduce failure probabilities;<br/>5) Knowing one’s assets: collect and transfer patrimonial data to the information systems in charge of asset management and maintenance. <br/>
