Cyber-Physical Systems Approach for Smart Grid Data Standardization for Electricity Infrastructure

Standardization is one of the focused areas for establishing smart grid industry. Understanding the power system data standards is limited to the industry niche segment due to lack of proper open-source tools and established practices. This paper highlights the necessity for data standardization in the context of smart grids using cyber-physical systems approach for the electricity infrastructure. Power system common information models are utilized and suitable extensions have been proposed. A case study on modeling and designing Demand Response application using this approach is presented. This paper also presents a framework in smart grid data standardization based on the experiences and insights gained through this research work.
