Metering Infrastructure and its Reference Architecture of Smart Distribution Grid Based on the Domain Model

Abstract

nformation facilities play an important role in guarantee for smart distribution grid (SDG) security and stability, and the SDG metering infrastructure will play guiding role for the construction of SDG information facilities. This paper firstly elaborates the conception of the SDG metering infrastructure from the perspective of demand of information system in SDG, and then analyzes the functional demand and features of metering infrastructure during the development of SDG. Finally this paper proposes the reference architecture of SDG metering infrastructure using the domain in conceptual model of smart grid and has a detailed analysis on the inner-domain data source, data communication channel and data center of reference architecture.
