	abstract = {Smart Grids play a crucial role for always more efficient, flexible and reliable integration of technologies in the electricity marketplace. At the {\textquotedblleft}edge{\textquotedblright} of Smart Grids, appliances and consumer devices consume electricity by Microgrids. End-users need easily and dynamically accessible electricity marketplace and heterogeneous renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, etc.), in order to satisfy energy needs. This implies two main challenges: 1) managing the variable availability of renewables, mainly due both to variable electricity marketplace conditions and to a not-continuous energy sourcing; 2) managing the energy supply/demand ratio especially in presence of scarcity or surplus conditions in the electrical energy providing service. In this paper the authors propose a novel two-levels Internet of Things-as-a-Service (IoTaaS) strategy to {\textquotedblleft}win{\textquotedblright} the above-mentioned challenges.},
