Componentized Service Oriented Architectural Model for Power System Problems

The electrical grid is at the threshold of a revolution and the outcome of research on Internet Technology will play a major role in transforming the nature of the electrical grid. To come up with a new paradigm in the field of electrical grid, a distributed architecture that uses the concepts popularized in Internet research is required. Electrical grid consists of several power system services that are to be coordinated to obtain a specific response.  Yet the major problem is that different services from different power sectors are to be coordinated where the services have been developed and implemented in different platforms and deployment environments. In this paper a generalized deployment independent service oriented architectural model has been proposed for solving various power system problems. This architectural model allows flexible way to plug-in new power system services and the existing services can be customized only by modifying respective XML schemas. The power system clients geographically apart can access these services whenever required
