UML design patterns in a Smart Grid

The work is focused on modeling Smart Grid functional requirements using use case descriptors and UML class diagrams. The design patterns help identify appropriate agents in the event of any outage in a microgrid. The paper presents selective UML diagrams for different layers in a multi agent design for a power system called UML-MAPS. The architecture is cost effective, easy to track, manage and document, and is highly beneficial in modeling grid management. Index Terms. Smart Grid, Use cases and classe,; design patterns 1
