Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Smart Grid Reference Architecture

Course subject(s) Module 6: ICT & infrastructures

Smart Grids Reference Architecture

Interoperability between the many components  is a key enabler of smart grids.  In the next weblecture, Professor Geert Deconinck will describe the required ‘Smart Grid Architecture Model’ (SGAM) – developed by the ‘CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Joint Working Group report on standards for smart grids’- for this interoperability. This framework is a pre-condition to allow the many different smart grid actors to jointly discuss and design smart grid solutions. You will learn to understand the framework and its layers, zones and domains. You will see that it is work in progress and that the challenge is to develop flexible standards (as we have seen in week 2).

Questions for pondering

If you watch the web lecture, reflect on the meaning of – and distinction between – the different layers, zones & domains.
