Centralised Legacy Architecture

A conventional Power System structure that is the product of Architecture choices made in a historical context where almost all Electricity was provided by centralised Generation Plant connected to the Transmission Network and managed by the Market/System Operator (MSO)  

In the historical context of this model, Distribution Networks did not host Distributed Energy Resources (DER) but functioned primarily as a means of unidirectional supply from the Bulk Supply Points (BSP) to largely passive Customers.

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:
