Abstract-Changes in electricity markets, driven by the increased use of renewable energy resources and the active participation of consumers in managing their energy usage, creates a demand for new smart grid technologies and services. In this paper, we describe an architecture that has been developed within the EU-funded Nobel Grid project, integrating novel smart grid solutions and services to enable energy flexibility markets, with enhanced demand-response schemes and active prosumer participation. The architecture was developed using the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) Framework from CEN-CENELEC-ETSI. In this way, the business context and use cases have been modelled, along with the necessary components, communication protocols and data models that are necessary to realise the Nobel Grid project's ambitious goals of a more open energy market.
