N2 - With the current increase of distributed generation in
distribution networks, line congestions and PQ issues are
expected to increase. The smart grid may effectively
coordinate DER, only when supported by a comprehensive
architecture for automation. In IDE4L project such
architecture is designed based on monitoring, control and
business use cases. The IDE4L instance of SGAM
architecture is derived and explained in details. The
automation actor are specified in terms of interfaces,
database and functions. The division in these three
layers boosted the implementation phase as dedicated
interfaces, databases or application has been developed
in a modular way and can be installed in different HW/SW.
Some implementation instances are presented and the main
output of the architecture is discussed with regards to
some indexes as communication traffic and level of
distribution of automation functions.
