Today’s utilities are evolving from managers of large, long-lived physical infrastructure into managers of data-point digitised infrastructures. However, legacy equipment and aging infrastructure work to slow down the evolution to a hybrid environment that includes both centralised and decentralised power structures.
Smart grids will be vital to success, because they support tomorrow’s electricity-dependent world. While centralised power generation will remain critical to grid stability for decades to come, distributed energy resources (DERs), such as residential rooftop and community-scale solar arrays and storage, will become important for energy suppliers and supporters of system stability. Smart grids via the digitisation of distribution systems will drive the improvements in connectivity required for a more flexible and efficient control and transfer of electricity between:
• Residential and commercial buildings’ switchboards and automated home devices
• Distributed energy resources (DERs)
• Energy communities (such as microgrids), their members and stakeholders
• Utilities operating distribution grids, regional and connecting systems and participating in energy markets.

Best Practices for Creating Your Smart Grid Network Model
A real-time model of their distribution network enables utilities to implement Smart Grid strategies such as managing demand and integrating renewable energy sources. They build this model in an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) based on accurate and up-to-date information of the distribution network infrastructure. Yet, a recent survey shows that less than 5% of utilities are confident about the quality of the network data. This paper discusses best practices for ensuring complete, correct and current data for a Smart Grid network model.
