3. • Objectives
• EMPOWER architecture
• Overall EMPOWER architecture
Content

4. • Local Smart Grids Architecture aims to define
relationships between the different agents:
– Mapping technically business models and local
market.
– Design of communication and physical
connections of the prosumers to the control and
market cloud
– Design of software architecture of the control and
market clouds
Objectives

7. Why?
• Allowing deployment of a
Smart Energy Service
Provider (SESP) platform
for negotiation and
trading of energy in a
community.
• Potential participants:
consumers, producers,
prosumers, community
storage units,
distribution system
operators (DSO).

8. How
– to define the relationships between the different participants?
– to specify the control, the market and the communications
interactions?
EMPOWER architecture

9. EMPOWER architecture
How?
• SGAM (Smart Grid Architecture Model)
– Three-dimensional model

10. Application of SGAM to EMPOWER
