Smart Grid Enterprise Architecture Market Issues and Trends, Smart Grid Enterprise Architecture Practices and Success Factors, Standards, Leading Applications, Vendor Offerings, and User Experiences  Automated metering has ignited smart grid initiatives. New power, sensor, and information technologies will continue the momentum, creating exponential data growth new business models and requirements for further transformation. Multiple value streams for data and applications will be the norm – enabling the interoperability of solutions and data that will be a defining characteristic of the smart grid.

The challenge of effective business analysis and strategy development in an emerging disruptive market environment will place enormous demands on the supporting information infrastructure of the utility. Consumerization, mobility, and social networking are on deck. Integrating data that must interoperate in customer facing systems, for analytics, or in advanced control environments will be a challenge. Related system and network performance requirements will have to scale to meet these requirements. The sheer complexity of interoperability and integration requirements indicates that the future state of the smart grid will be daunting enough and may take decades to unfold. However, the utility “system of systems” value chain, its historical hierarchical, siloed, and engineering-oriented business and delivery processes, and the historical de-emphasis on IT technology in general are all barriers to the business and technology transformation necessary to make smart grid a reality.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an established methodology and discipline for aligning business strategy, processes, and information assets with the goal of enabling the enterprise to effectively and flexibly control and transform the business to a desired future state. Enterprise Architecture can deliver better overall business decision-making, business-IT synergy, resource utilization, governance control, and speed to innovation.

This Pike Research report examines the market issues associated with adopting and implementing Enterprise Architecture discipline and tools to support smart grid projects. The study includes profiles of key industry players as well as experiences and best practices of leading utilities who are adopting and using Enterprise Architecture to address the complexities of smart grid.
