One of the use cases identified for the WoC concept is elaborated upon and is mapped to SGAM, providing one of the first examples where the SGAM reference framework has been used to develop a future distributed control architecture for real time implementation in power systems. Furthermore, this paper offers some insight into the key contributions that this approach can bring, such as a more effective interdisciplinary collaboration, better understanding of the control problem, and its implementation and validation.

Laboratory infrastructure driven key performance indicator development using the smart grid architecture model

“…In the first stage of the methodology, the functions involved in the smart grid control solution are identified and mapped onto the corresponding zones and domains of the functional layer of the SGAM. A description of how a distributed control solution can be mapped on to the functional layer of SGAM has been detailed in [7]. The information that is exchanged between the different functions is identified and the 'business context view' of the SGAM information layer is developed.…”

“…In this case study, one of the frequency control solutions, called the balance restoration control (BRC), will be utilised to present an example use of the proposed methodology. More details on the control solution can be found in [7]. European Liason on Electricity Committed Towards long-term Research Activity Integrated Research Programme (ELECTRA IRP) involves a total of 11 partners with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.…”

“…A methodology for developing suitable KPIs using the SGAM is presented in this paper. This paper builds upon the work presented in [7], and advances the state-of-the-art by demonstrating a structured approach for multi-laboratory collaborative KPI development.…”

Towards modeling future energy infrastructures — the ELECTRA system engineering approach

“…Project specific inputs are listed on the left and their mapping to the project specific UCMR via template, actor list and requirements is illustrated; all central process elements are recorded in the UCMR; systematic control domain and actor modeling enable functional conflict identification and an amended use case template [4], [6], [7] enables recording of conflict analysis outcomes in use case context; finally SGAM reference designation and SysML annotations then enable visual inspection and requirements tracing toward lab testing. The test specification process is also supported by SGAM as outlined in [8]; greyed out elements have not been implemented in ELECTRA. definition as follows: "A System-of-Systems is defined as a set or arrangement of systems that results when independent and useful systems are integrated into a larger system that delivers unique capabilities."…”

Controller HIL testing of real-time distributed frequency control for future power systems

“…The development of novel distributed grid intelligence concepts is a complex design task that requires coordination between different engineering domains such as control, power systems and data communication [3]. Once the design The work in this paper has been supported by the European Commission, under the FP7 project ELECTRA (grant no: 609687).…”
