Smart grid architecture model for control, optimization and data analytics of future power networks with more renewable energy

This paper describes a generic methodology to develop mathematical and computational models of different components of the smart grid architecture model (SGAM). The SGAM inspired integrated mathematical modelling will help develop interoperable complex system simulations for integrating different smart grid components, associated communication models for data exchange and software modules, control, estimation, and data analytics functionalities with the business perspectives. This paper is based on the existing component models inspired by SGAM, which provides a holistic view for integrating the models under operational and security constraints. Achievable results and open research problems for the SGAM mapping have also been discussed in these models supporting the interoperability challenges. The models described in this paper can serve as a guideline to design efficient and robust control strategies for smart grids against uncertain loading, generation, and communication constraints, thus optimizing and improving the whole system's performance. Mathematical and computational models of cyber-physical systems have also been discussed along with their potential challenges. Based on the above concepts, unsolved and open challenges in the smart grid control, optimization and data analytics are highlighted. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
