Motivation: Need for a unified Smart Grid Architecture Model

“Lots of different Smart Grid Architectures are promoted.” How to compare them?

“Various standards for Smart Grid exist.” Where are limitations, gaps and overlap?

“There are assets which need to be reused as much as possible (both utilities and vendors)” What is the systematic way to migrate to smart grid from an architectural view point?

Interoperability – the missing dimension

Interoperability among Systems Business Layer

„What business processes and regulatory constraints apply?“

Function Layer

„Which functions are required?“ „What Information is going to be exchanged?“

Information Layer

„How is the information being exchanged?“

Communication Layer

„What Hardware is required?“

Component Layer

„What issue affects all layers?“ Page 5
