Edge-Oriented Orchestration of Energy Services Using Graph-Driven Swarm Intelligence
This work addresses the challenges of decentralized, low-latency service orchestration in smart grids under the integration of IoT and distributed energy management. To this end, the authors propose a unified task orchestration framework tailored for edge–fog–cloud collaborative architectures. The framework combines graph-driven modeling with swarm intelligence–based optimization to enable resource-aware, low-latency task offloading. System interoperability is ensured through adherence to Energy Data Space standards, while blockchain technology guarantees traceability of workloads. Real-world deployment experiments based on KubeEdge demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves zero-downtime service migration and sustained service availability under dynamic workloads, significantly enhancing both system responsiveness and reliability.
