Modern electrical networks are evolving towards highly distributed infrastructures commonly referred to as Smart Grids. These architectures integrate advanced communication networks, distributed monitoring systems and intelligent field devices. The operation of such infrastructures relies on coordinated interactions between control centres, substations and field equipment across the power system architecture. |
Smart grid architectures require reliable information exchange between heterogeneous operational systems. The IEC 61850 standard provides a structured framework for data modelling and communication services enabling interoperability across smart grid infrastructures. |
Engineering complex smart grid architectures requires a rigorous description of operational processes, system interactions and information flows. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches support this objective by providing structured modelling techniques capable of representing complex system behaviours and interactions. |
MODSARUS enables engineers to structure use cases, system interactions and data flows within smart grid architectures using a UML modelling environment. This modelling approach improves the consistency of engineering documentation and facilitates collaboration between teams involved in the design and operation of complex energy infrastructures. |
