General Session - Overview of Functional Architecture

• Short Description: Overview of Functional Architecture
• Detailed Description: LF Energy members have collaborated to create a concept of a functional architecture for the power grid of the future. The architecture starts with a top-level view and progresses to a finer granularity showing areas of focus. The final image shows how each of the existing – and some future – LF Energy projects and use-cases fits into this architecture.
• Goal/Desired Tangible Outcome(s): Provide everyone a basis understanding of the functional architecture and how the LF Energy project and use-cases relate to it. 
• Topic Leader(s): Jonas van den Bogaard, Benoit Jeanson
• Expected duration: 20 mins

Breakout Sessions

Please add any relevant information pertaining to your use case/working group area - this includes reference documents, pre-read, etc.

Each breakout session needs to incorporate an activity to engage the attendees that supports the tangible outcomes each use case goal.
Here is a suggested activity for use case methodology.

Track - Infrastructure

• Short Description: Defining a guideline for critical infrastructures for the energy world.
• Detailed Description: In times of high demands like 100% availability, redundancy and low latency in combination with serious security aspects, the energy world is facing critical challenges. Especially the requirements to have a multi-cloud in combination with a hybrid-cloud approach including the limitation of running critical workloads only in your data center have to be solved. This UseCase is trying to establish a guideline on how to have the flexibility of a public cloud provider and the security of an on-premise environment.
• Goal/Desired Tangible Outcome(s): Working document for cloud strategies in the energy sector.
• Topic Leader(s): Sven Leiss
• Moderator (Monitor Chat, organize questions, manage time): name1
• Host (Manage/Control Bridge functions):  You can appoint an alternate host, but we recommend that the Moderator and the Host be the same person.
• Expected duration: all Breakout Sessions
• Activity: Define a high level infrastructure architecture for the energy world which will focus on the criticality of the workloads based on the following requirements:
  • KRITIS for critical infrastructure (national)
  • BAIT and VAIT (Supervisory Requirements for IT in Financial Institutions/Insurance Undertakings)  (national by the BaFin)
  • ISO/IEEC 2700x (international by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission)

Use Case - Asset Monitoring

• Short Description: An open source based architecture for asset monitoring and asset management
• Detailed Description: 

background : RTE initiated an internal project aiming at replacing an aging asset monitoring system and paving the way for a shift from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance.

• Actual state of the project : Presentation of the project goal and its architecture that is mainly based on open source components :
  • Discussion / challenge of the architecture with regards to its goals
  • Discussion of possible extensions / other use cases that could be developed on top of this architecture
• Toward a Community : Opening the project : today the project is designed within RTE, initially without the goal of opening the code
  • Discussion : what does the community expect when opening an internal code? What are the key elements to take into account to ease onboarding of contributors to build a community?
  • It is not only a matter of code: working in parallel on the business design and software design.
    • before the code: Transitioning from preventive to predictive maintenance requires new softwares to support activities that are not yet well defined. How to define them on a communautary way?
    • Beyond the code: analytics will be trained on physical assets? Should the Community share fitted models? How?
• Goal/Desired Tangible Outcome(s): Key actions to be implemented by RTE when opening the code to ensure success of Community building.

• Topic Leader(s): Benoit Jeanson
• Moderator (Monitor Chat, organize questions, manage time): Host (Manage/Control Bridge functions):  You can appoint an alternate host, but we recommend that the Moderator and the Host be the same person.Expected duration: TBD

Use Case - CoMPAS

• Short Description: Develop open source software components related to IEC 61850 model implementation (profile management) and configuration of a power industry Protection Automation and Control System (PACS).

• Detailed Description: 

The mission of LF Energy's CoMPAS project is to develop open source software components related to IEC 61850 model implementation (profile management) and configuration of a power industry Protection Automation and Control System (PACS). The initial roadmap of the project was drafted by a design team involving several grid operators and T&D automation vendors (see resources below).

The CoMPAS project is currently focusing on two short term goals:

1. detailing the overall technical architecture for the project, based on the initial principles mentioned in the initial roadmap document (microservices, scripting capabilities, API to external tools, etc.);
2.  developing the user story mapping for a Minimum Viable Product, based on the high-level description of use cases outlined in the initial roadmap document.

This track will provide an opportunity for community brainstorming on the above-mentioned topics.
