Conceptual Model
• Generation including DER– Technology diversity– Physical proximity to transmission,
distribution + customer domains• Intelligent distribution system
– Increasing importance (location + size)– Improved controllability + intelligence– Connected to service provider domain
(e.g., congestion mitigation)• Empowered consumers
– Operations & intelligence enters customer domain
– Customer diversity incorporated
