Power System Architecture Interim Report 2024/25

This document is an interim report on the Power System Architecture (PSA) as part of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's (CSIRO) Global Power System Transformation initiative. It outlines the progress and activities related to the PSA and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies over the past few years. The report discusses the increasing complexity of Australia's power systems, highlighting the need for formal Systems Engineering methodologies to manage this complexity effectively. It details the engagement with stakeholders and the collaborative efforts to develop a Detailed Architecture, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the evolving landscape of power systems. The report also addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by the current dynamic context, including the need for integrated research reports that support immediate and long-term functional requirements for consumer energy resources. Additionally, it describes the adjustments made to the project scope in response to stakeholder feedback and the ongoing collaboration with various entities.
