  "abstract": "Rising penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) distributes coordination-relevant capability, information, and constraints across power systems. This paper develops a functional framework for diagnosing whether coordination architectures remain compatible with these conditions. Coordination architecture allocates and connects Observation, Representation, Behavioural Selection, Behavioural Realization, Learning, and Adaptation.\n\nThe framework is applied to a stylized CAISO-informed TSO–DSO–DER case and operationalized through capability relationships and hypotheses. A controlled IEEE 33-bus benchmark varies the representation of identical DER capability while holding the physical system and Selection rule constant.\n\nNominal aggregation produces false-feasible selections in 58–71% of requests, whereas conservative representation eliminates infeasible selections but withholds usable flexibility. A network-feasible representation eliminates false-feasible selections under unchanged conditions while reducing unnecessary restriction; after a 10% load change, 16% of selections using the unchanged representation become infeasible.\n\nThe results attribute a Selection consequence to Representation distortion and show that representational adequacy is problem-dependent. The benchmark provides controlled support for function-specific diagnosis and problem-relative architectural compatibility, without validating the complete framework or claiming superiority of any architectural form.\n\nPreprint status: This is the author's original manuscript submitted to Electric Power Systems Research on 7 September 2026 (manuscript EPSR-D-26-08761).
