Abstract: Based on future requirements and vision, smart grid architectural goals and principles are proposed. The architect takes into consideration of effective utilization of existing resources. Service reusability, system manageability and open standards are also the focus of architecture evolution. The smart grid evolution route is designed to transform system architecture from business silo mode to system integration mode. A future architecture vision based on open standards and layered services, which is the essence of “system of systems” is also proposed. The vision supports proposed evolution route and has high service oriented integration. Services and interfaces are reusable and loosely coupled due to compliance with open standard. Hence the proposed architecture is flexible, strong and adaptive with future requirement.

Key words: smart grid, information and communication, architecture evolution, open standard, service oriented
