Development Of Cross-Sectoral Active Network Management Systems Using New Engineering Paradigms

An Active Network Management system comprises a large number of different technical systems that interact in several ways to pursue local objectives. The Smart Grid Architecture Model was developed for the description of the coupling of these technical systems and scenarios within an Active Network Management system. In this paper, this modelling paradigm is applied for the requirements engineering and a uniform description of a cross-sectoral Active Network Management system. Essential requirements are shown and described in relation to the two upper layers of the Smart Grid Architecture Model. Based on the requirements engineering results, the implementation of a multi agent system is proposed. For the development of this multi agent system, a new software engineering paradigm is applied. Finally, the functionality use-case developed cross-sectoral Active Network system are described, which will be investigated in a later field test.
