Architecture for Smart Grid IT Interoperability (1)

Architecture for Smart Grid IT Interoperability
(1)

• Purpose
• Understand and model Smart Grid IT and its
  interoperability needs
• Define and model Smart Grid IT interoperability
• Coordinated and consistent with architectures for
  P2030 Smart Grid Power and Communications
  Technologies
• Use/reuse existing relevant architecture
  artifacts
• GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) documents
• NIST documents, especially Cloud diagrams
• UCA International Users Group (UCAIUG) documents
• Architectures and models from closely related
  applications, e.g. models that commercial and
  industrial electric power customers have had for
  years (residential consumption control is not
  new)
• etc

• Determine architecture scope and artifacts needed
  to understand and define SG IT interoperability,
  including but not limited to
• Information exchanges
• Logical (operational) nodes
• Information exchanges
• Physical (system) nodes and interconnectivity
• Data definitions and taxonomies
• Architecture principles (e.g., separate function
  from device)
• Factoring for ownership and administrative
  authority of equipment, services, and information
  (privacy, scope of control, etc)

• Determine architecture framework(s), modeling
  technique(s)/language(s), and tool(s) to be used,
  for example
• Frameworks
• DoDAF
• Zachman Framework
• TOGAF
• etc
• Modeling languages and techniques
• UML
• SysML
• Subsumption architecture
• etc
• Consider Andreas Tolks work
