SGAM and the energy system of Zeewolde
Bio.
Lambert Verhagen studied Physics in the 1990s. He began his career as a software engineer. Naturally, he wondered how his work contributed to the larger system. Looking at it from that perspective, he would ask: “Why are we solving it this way?” Later, he learned that this mindset is a core value of systems engineering. He has held system architecture roles in lithography, the maritime sector, infrastructure, and currently in the energy sector. At present, he is the Technology Leader for Systems Engineering and Sustainability at Capgemini Engineering. He is paving the way for the Capgemini Systems Engineering community.
Abstract.
In this workshop we will work on the 2 feasible scenarios in the Zeewolde case.
Using the Smart Grid Architecture (SGAM) framework we will
set up a map of systems and functions in 3 dimensions.
1. Domains – From TSO to customer premises
2. Interoperability – From business and functions to components
3. Zones – From market and enterprise to processes
The Zeewolde case is illustrative for many local communities and very concrete as the SIG Energy transition NL is already helping the city with a systems engineering approach. The SIG advised Zeewolde to think on a system of systems level. With SGAM we follow a structured approach that is well established in the Energy domain.
We start with a business approach and will discover the functions. Also, we will find what is needed from for example the DSO and TSO or a local Heath Power system. Parallel to the business approach we start looking at the system from a component/system viewpoint. In the middle we glue this together and may find missing information.
