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.
