Abstract
Applying agent systems for solving large-scale design problems in particular in smart grid solutions, requires using proper representations at all levels of system description and specification. In the paper we introduce formally the hierarchical hypergraph representation of an urban space including both maps and physical objects like buildings. Such representation enables further decomposition of system model and performing parallel computations on it.
