century. Today, we export billions of dollars each year to import the energy we need to power

our country. Our dependence on foreign oil threatens our national security, our environment and

our economy. We must make the investments in cleanenergy sources that will put Americans

The Big Picture

Smart Grid Strategy, Architecture, and High-Level Viewpoint

Smart Grid Modeling

This topic area includes accurately modeling the behavior, performance, and cost of distribution level smart grid assets and their impacts at all levels of grid operations fromgeneration to transmission and distribution. R&D activities will focus on:

• Making comprehensive smart grid components and operations modeling capabilitiesavailable in distribution engineering tools so that smart grid options can be consideredon an equal footing with today’s strategies during the system design process.

• Creating a public library of smart grid component models, controls, operatingstrategies, and test cases for the vendor community and utilities to draw upon whenupgrading their tools.

• Establishing benchmark test cases to validate smart grid models and software tools.

• Expanding Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) distribution testcases (now focused primarily on power flow) to include smart grid assets andoperations.

• Developing fast computational algorithms and parallel computing capabilities toincrease the speed of smart grid models so that they can be embedded in real-timecontrols and decision support tools.

• Developing the capability to model impacts of smart grid operations on the entiregrid.

• Developing reduced-order models of quasi-steady and dynamic response of a smartgrid on the transmission and generation system.

• Providing for continuous updates of the distribution system model in distributionengineering tools so that they accurately reflect the current configuration, which will be increasingly dynamic as smart grid technology is deployed.

• Linking distribution engineering models with the work order, outage management,and automated mapping/facilities management/geographic information systems.

• Developing and demonstrating techniques for integrating communication network models, wholesale market models, and renewable resource models to form morecomprehensive smart grid modeling environments.

• Supporting development of open standards for describing distribution systems,customer loads, and smart grid components.

Smart Grid Concept as a Mission

The Smart Grid Mission Viewpoint (SGM-V) describes a mission, class of mission, or scenario.

It shows the main operational concepts and interesting or unique aspects of operations. Itdescribes the interactions between the subject architecture and its environment, and between thearchitecture and external systems. The SGM-V is the pictorial representation of the writtencontent of the Overview and Summary Information. Graphics alone are not sufficient for capturing the necessary architectural data.

The SGM-V provides a graphical depiction of what the architecture is about and an idea of the players and operations involved. A SGM-V can be used to orient and focus detailed discussions.Its main use is to aid human communication, and it is intended for presentation to high-leveldecision-makers. The intended usage of the SGM-V includes:

• Putting an operational situation or scenario into context.• Providing a tool for discussion and presentation; for example, aids industry engagement

in acquisition.• Providing an aggregate illustration of the details within the published high-level

organization of more detailed information in published architectures.

Detailed Description:

Each Operational Viewpoint relates to a specific point within the Smart Grid Enterprise'stimeline. The SGM-V describes a mission, class of mission, or scenario. The purpose of SGM-Vis to provide a quick, high-level description of what the architecture is supposed to do, and how

it is supposed to do it. A SGM-V can be used to orient and focus detailed discussions. Its mainutility is as a facilitator of human communication, and it is intended for presentation to high-leveldecision-makers. A SGM-V identifies the mission/scope covered in the ArchitecturalDescription. SGM-V conveys, in simple terms, what the Architectural Description is about andan idea of the players and operations involved.

The content of a SGM-V depends on the scope and intent of the Architectural Description, but ingeneral it describes the business activities or missions, high-level operations, organizations, andgeographical distribution of assets. The model frames the operational concept (what happens,who does what, in what order, to accomplish what goal) and highlight interactions to theenvironment and other external systems. However, the content is at an executive summary-level

as other models allow for more detailed definition of interactions and sequencing.

It may highlight the key Operational concepts and interesting or unique aspects of the conceptsof operations. It provides a description of the interactions between the Architectural Descriptionand its environment, and between the Architectural Description and external systems. A textualdescription accompanying the graphic is crucial. Graphics alone are not sufficient for capturingthe necessary architectural data. The SGM-V consists of a graphical executive summary for agiven Architectural Description with accompanying text.

During the course of developing an Architectural Description, several versions of a SGM-V may be produced. An initial version may be produced to focus the effort and illustrate its scope. After other models within the Architectural Description's scope have been developed and verified,another version of the SGM-V may be produced to reflect adjustments to the scope and other

Architectural Description details that may have been identified as a result of the architecturedevelopment. After the Architectural Description has been used for its intended purpose and theappropriate analysis has been completed, yet another version may be produced to summarizethese findings to present them to high-level decision-makers. In other cases, SGM-V is the lastmodel to be developed, as it conveys summary information about the whole ArchitecturalDescription for a given scenario.

The SGM-V is useful in establishing the context for a suite of related operational models. Thiscontext may be in terms of phase, a time period, a mission and/or a location. In particular, this provides a container for the spatial-temporally constrained performance parameters (measures).

To describe this, the operational performance measures for implementing a “Smart Grid”capability. For example, SGM-V in Phase 1 may be different to those in Phase 2. The measuresfor energy transmission in Phase 2 may be different to those for energy distribution in Phase 2.

The context may also explicitly involve a Mission. When the subject of the ArchitecturalDescription is a business capability rather than a market space capability, then some adjustmentis needed in the use of terminology. However, the idea of having a high-level (Business)operational concept still makes sense and the graphical representation in SGM-V adds value tothe more structured models that may be created.

Seven Domains of Smart Grid Logical Reference Model

The NIST Framework and Roadmap document identifies seven domains within the Smart Grid:

Transmission, Distribution, Operations, Bulk Generation, Markets, Customer, and Service Provider.

A Smart Grid domain is a high-level grouping of organizations, buildings, individuals, systems,

devices, or other actors with similar objectives and relying on—or participating in—similar types of

applications. The various actors are needed to transmit, store, edit, and process the information

needed within the Smart Grid. To enable Smart Grid functionality, the actors in a particular domain

often interact with actors in other domains, as shown in Figure 2-1.

of 12




The diagram below (Figure 2-2) expands upon figure 2-1 and depicts a composite high-level

view of the actors within each of the Smart Grid domains. This high-level diagram is provided as

a reference diagram. Actors are devices, systems, or programs that make decisions and exchange

information necessary for executing applications within the Smart Grid. The diagrams included

later in this chapter expand upon this high-level diagram and include logical interfaces between

actors and domains.
