Analysis and system modeling of a smart grid: Case study of the operations domain

The smart grid is a system composed of different subsystems and different objects, hardware and software. In this paper, the smart grid is presented. Then the different domains, the characteristics and benefits and the importance of the operations domain are presented. In fact, a systemic modeling based on the Objectives Oriented Project Planning (OOPP) method is presented to model the smart grid in a general way and the operations domain in a detailed way and finally to analyze its relation with the other domains. The methodology which is realized in this paper describes on the one hand, the optimization of the operations domain and on the other hand, the analysis of three subsystems: the intelligent energy, the intelligent information and the intelligent communication.
