SGAM Toolbox
Modeling aid for the Smart Grid Architecture Model
Christian Neureiter, the original author of the SGAM Toolbox, has successfully completed his PhD thesis on “A Domain-Specific, Model Driven Engineering Approach for Systems Engineering in the Smart Grid”. It is as of now available on MBSE4U:
History
After implementing various Proof of Concepts, the current version of the SGAM-Toolbox consolidates all implemented functionality and introduces a guidance through the modelling process of a Smart Grid Project.
Technology
The toolbox is based on the “Model Driven Generation” technology provided by EA where the results are stored in a XML-based file. The language of choice is C# which allows to make use of all functionalities that come with it.

Download
Create your own Smart Grid Architecture Model with the current release of the SGAM Toolbox. Enterprise Architect in Version 9.3 or higher is needed to run this AddOn. After downloading and installing, you will be able to start modelling right away.
Currently the toolbox is only compatible with the 32-bit version of Enterprise Architect.

NIST Logical Reference Model
As an example for the application of the SGAM Toolbox we have created a project based on the NIST Logical Reference Model (NIST LRM).
NIST LRM was published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of the NISTIR 7628 Guidelines for Smart Grid Cybersecurity.
