Systematic method for the development of future active distribution network automation architectures

In response to the EU Mandate M/490, two crucial tools were developed for supporting the standardization of the Smart Grid: the Smart Architecture Model (SGAM) framework and the Use Case Methodology. This paper shows and exemplifies the use of these tools to incrementally develop the automation architecture for future active distribution power systems, by leveraging on existing automation architectures from literature and existing standards. This method for architecture development has been formalized and used in EU Project IDE4L, but it is generally applicable.
