A Reference Architecture for RAG-Based Digital Grid Operational Decision Support

Integrating Operational Context and Engineering Knowledge for Evidence-Grounded Insights and Action Recommendations

Abstract
This presentation introduces a RAG-based reference architecture that integrates real-time operational context, asset and network information, and engineering knowledge to support digital-grid operations. It presents the context-modelling and knowledge-preparation pipeline, layered architecture, and event-driven workflow, illustrated through a transformer thermal-event use case. Governance, human oversight, and future multimodal extensions are also discussed.
