Centralised Future Architecture

A vision of a future Power System that is a logical extension of the Centralised Legacy Architecture, in that it aspires to whole-of-system operations being directly managed by the Market/System Operator (MSO).    

In this model, the MSO requires detailed Visibility and Controllability across all Tiers/Layers of the Power System, including Distribution Networks as they transform to host a growing volume and diversity of Energy Resources.

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.

Please provide your suggestions to improve to this definition:
