Since the research in Information and Communications Technologies has provided strong progress in the field of distributed sensor networks and geo-referenced systems, the fundamental sensor architectures and frameworks developed in Europe are reviewed in this work in order to look for their suitability to Smart Grids, providing with results of interest, drawbacks, and a proposal of general requirements for the identification of an appropriate integration framework. Additionally, a practical case of electrical network is analyzed (IEEE 14-Node Network) oriented to the estimation of fault sensors, describing aspects often studied separately in literature like sensor networks and electrical networks. In this sense, several scenarios have been considered including a simulated processing in order to reveal some of the potential advantages that can be found with the implementation of Semantic Services.
