Demand Response (DR) is becoming a cornerstone element in the current energy sector, particularly for the EU energy markets. For this reason, considerable effort has been spent on standardising demand response data models. As a result, there is an ever-growing number of demand response proposals based on these standards. However, these proposals are usually centralised, and those that rely on cloud solutions use the cloud as a centralised data store assuming that the data is already homogenised when stored, i.e. all the data has the same format and model. Nevertheless, in practise, DR proposals rely on several components that provide data in heterogeneous formats and models. Furthermore, the different DR standards define models for different data formats that hinder data exchange between different DR systems. In this article, a generic tool called CIM is presented, which allows existing DR systems to distribute their components in the cloud, providing a solid security and privacy framework for data exchange. In addition, the CIM implements a semantic interoperability layer that is capable of translating data into a normalised form when exchanged so that it can be transparently consumed by DR components. Experiments advocate the CIM as a solution for DR systems to decentralise their architectures and exchange heterogeneous data even with other DR systems that follow different DR standards.

需求响应 (DR) 正在成为当前能源部门的基石要素，尤其是对于欧盟能源市场而言。为此，在标准化需求响应数据模型方面花费了大量精力。因此，基于这些标准的需求响应提案数量不断增加。然而，这些建议通常是集中的，那些依赖于云解决方案的建议使用云作为集中式数据存储，假设数据在存储时已经同质化，即所有数据具有相同的格式和模型。然而，在实践中，DR 提案依赖于几个以异构格式和模型提供数据的组件。此外，不同的 DR 标准定义了不同数据格式的模型，这些模型阻碍了不同 DR 系统之间的数据交换。在本文中，提出了一种称为 CIM 的通用工具，它允许现有的 DR 系统将其组件分布在云中，为数据交换提供可靠的安全和隐私框架。此外，CIM 实现了一个语义互操作层，能够在交换时将数据转换为规范化形式，以便 DR 组件可以透明地使用它。实验提倡将 CIM 作为 DR 系统的解决方案，以分散其架构并与遵循不同 DR 标准的其他 DR 系统交换异构数据。CIM 实现了一个语义互操作层，该层能够在交换时将数据转换为规范化形式，以便 DR 组件可以透明地使用它。实验提倡将 CIM 作为 DR 系统的解决方案，以分散其架构并与遵循不同 DR 标准的其他 DR 系统交换异构数据。CIM 实现了一个语义互操作层，该层能够在交换时将数据转换为规范化形式，以便 DR 组件可以透明地使用它。实验提倡将 CIM 作为 DR 系统的解决方案，以分散其架构并与遵循不同 DR 标准的其他 DR 系统交换异构数据。
