On the perspective of grid architecture model with high TSO‐DSO interaction

“…Figure 3 introduces a five layers operation management architecture model defined based on the disaggregation of the functionalities of each actor, which allows to better define the interrelation between them when optimising the use of resources in the operation of the system. Layers are described as: Management control Application layer: describes control strategies to be implemented to manage grid operation according to the type of phenomenon to be mitigated (procure), operation time frame, available resources, and so on. Network services layer: represents the set of operation services that DSO is able to manage from available resources to improve network operation conditions for both transmission and distribution grid. Network measuring and monitoring layer: represents the set of measuring devices such as PMUs and RTUs as well as the monitoring system (SCADA) [91]. It includes protocols to exchange data among above mentioned devices and actors of others layers. Physical and electrical resources layer: represents the set of physical system elements connected at each network level and are able to offer products (e.g.…”

Applying the Smart Grid Architecture Model for Designing and Validating System-of-Systems in the Power and Energy Domain: A European Perspective

“…Further examples can be found where the SGAM has been used to describe use cases. The following list gives a first overview of the manifold application possibilities: ICT planning approach that can be used in combination with distribution network planning processes and tools [63]; • Development of a railway energy management system by using the SGAM model and methods [64]; • Design of an architecture of a distribution grid automation system focusing on PMU-based monitoring functions accommodating for key dynamic information exchange between TSOs and DSOs [65]; and • SGAM-based explanation of Smart Grids in order to present Big Data analytics [66].…”

“…The authors of [103] presented a holistic testing methodology that includes research infrastructures (e.g., experiment design and set-up) as a comprehensive analysis of modern electrical power systems and its associated ICT components. Furthermore, the authors of [65] presented a detailed description of the interaction of several components across the different interoperability layers in order to accommodate for key dynamic information exchange between DSO and TSO. However, although the current architecture is able to take into account the information about the components involved in the experiment and its communication infrastructure, a meaningful description that is able to automatically configure the hardware under study and its interconnections is still not fully developed.…”

Multi-Level Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Using the Data Distribution Services (DDS) for Synchronized Three-Phase Measurement Data Transfer

“…All these capabilities are important in any system where data exchange between devices must be correctly time-stamped and arrive at its destination within a specific timeframe with minimum jitter. The sections presented below describes the basic layers of the communication model, need of the TSN model [24], its features and its implementation details.…”
