6 The INSPIRE Proposal

7 INSPIRE : Using Intelligence to INSPIRE Future Networks  2016 bid for Network Innovation Competition (NIC) Funding  £7.9m Estimated Cost  4 years, Commencing April 2017 The INSPIRE Proposal

8 Introduction INSPIRE : aims to develop and demonstrate a whole network model architecture,  allow better management and integration of distribution network data,  creating intelligence and enabling Smart Grids. The INSPIRE Proposal

9 Solving a Problem Transition to a Smart System The INSPIRE Proposal

10 Solving a Problem Component Layer Communication Layer Information Layer Function Layer Business Layer Referring to the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) we believe that DNO development of the Information layer has not kept pace with the Component and Communication levels Further development of the Information layer is critical to enable progress in the Function and Business Layers Transition to a Smart System The INSPIRE Proposal
