On Valuation of Smart Grid Architectures: An Enterprise Engineering Perspective

摘要

This paper presents the initial design of a method to value smart grid (SG) architectures from a business point of view. The proposed design relies on the use of the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) and an adapted version of Bedell's method to assess the strategic importance and effectiveness of SG elements. As an attempt to automate such valuation, we also propose the use of a survey and a decision support system (DSS) that can determine the overall value of SG architectures.
