A survey on application of maturity models for smart grid: Review of the state-of -the-art

Abstract

More and more different organizations are necessarily being involved in realizing the Smart Grid, but each of them has to fulfill a different role concerning the overall transition. Stakeholders from the transmission and from the distribution layer must be considered. Deriving from this, a large variety of topics and viewpoints are involved. The future Smart Grid architecture will thus be highly dynamic and complex. Guidance for the enterprises, regarding comparability and measurability of different activities and showing optimization potential for the Smart Grid, is urgently needed. A promising approach is to combine the approved method of the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) Use Case modeling method and a maturity model developed thereupon. A benefit for the development of the sustainable energy system of the future is, that the assessment of Smart Grid technology, concerning their interoperability and interaction, helps creating a common and organization crosscutting understanding. This paper gives an overall overview about maturity models and their benefits. Additionally, a classification scheme for maturity models is outlined in a first draft. This classification scheme should guide the selection of characteristics for developing a new maturity model.

Economic evaluation and comparison of migration paths for the smart grid using two case studies

“…As the topic “maturity” has already gained in relevance through the TRL, research was conducted on the topic “maturity models” based on this. Research was conducted on both generally valid and domain-specific maturity level models( Mettler, 2011 ) ( Sun et al., 2011 ) ( Marx et al., 2012 ) ( The GridWise Architecture Council, 2011 ) ( Software Engineering Institute & The GridWise Architecture Council, 2012 ) ( Widergren et al., 2010 ) ( Uebernickel et al., 2015 ) ( Becker et al., 2009 ) ( Becker et al., 2010 ) ( Becker et al., 2010 ) ( Poeppelbuss et al., 2011 ) ( Becker et al., 2008 ) ( Fraser et al., 2002 ) ( U.S. Department of Energy, 2014 ) ( Grid-Interop, 2011 ) ( Gresse von Wangenheim et al., 2010 ) ( Hankel et al., 2014 ) ( Steenbergen, 2011 ) ( Antunes et al., 2014 ) ( Mettler and Rohner, 2009 ) ( Mater and Drummond, 2009 ) ( Software Engineering Institute, 2011 ) ( Khan, 2015 ) ( Hogrebe and Nüttgens, 2009 ) ( Biberoglu and Haddad, 2002 ) ( García-Mireles et al., 2012 ) ( Wittstock et al., 2016 ) ( Lahrmann et al., 2011 ) ( Mettler et al., 2010 ) ( De Bruin et al., 2005 ) ( BPM Maturity Model EDEN e.V., 2009 ) ( Rohjans et al., 2011 ) ( Uslar and Masurkewitz, 2015 ) ( Ahlemann et al., 2005 ), and ( Stevens, 2014 ).…”

“…A literature search for "maturity models" was also conducted (Mettler, 2011), (Sun et al, 2011), (Marx et al, 2012), (The GridWise Architecture Council, 2011), (Software Engineering Institute & The GridWise Architecture Council, 2012), (Widergren et al, 2010), (Uebernickel et al, 2015), (Becker et al, 2009), (Becker et al, 2010a), (Becker et al, 2010b), (Poeppelbuss et al, 2011), (Becker et al, 2008), (Fraser et al, 2002), (U.S. Department of Energy, 2014), (Grid-Interop, 2011), (Gresse von Wangenheim et al, 2010), (Hankel et al, 2014), (Steenbergen, 2011), (Antunes et al, 2014), (Mettler and Rohner, 2009), (Mater and Drummond, 2009), (Software Engineering Institute, 2011), (Khan, 2015), (Hogrebe and Nüttgens, 2009), (Biberoglu and Haddad, 2002), (García-Mireles et al, 2012), (Wittstock et al, 2016), (Lahrmann et al, 2011), (Mettler et al, 2010), (De Bruin et al, 2005), (BPM Maturity Model EDEN e.V., 2009), (Rohjans et al, 2011), (Uslar and Masurkewitz, 2015), (Ahlemann et al, 2005), and (Stevens, 2014). Under the aspect of sustainability, a cost and benefit analysis of the migration paths to be developed is essential.…”
