Task:

  • Propose a concept for a Lab which supports researchers in the area of self-organizing smart grids
  • State the relevant resources (software, hardware, installations) which would be needed for such a lab.

Group 2

Name: EMMMA (Wil, Martina, Marc, Manfred, Anna)

Group 3

  • Participants: Johannes, Andrea, Sven, Oliver, Astrid

Users of the SG lab

  • Sensor networks people, distributed system people, ...
  • computer scientists interested in the control and communication level of Smart Grids

What do they use it for?

Evolve our approaches & convince power systems people that our approaches perform well in the actual power system in place

We need ...

Abstraction layer to speed up deployment to field trials / component or system focussed testing labs

Grid Simulation or real grid components?

Simulation: commercial? To some extent, e.g. we could use PowerFactory

Time scale

  • Several seconds
  • Quasi-static grid simulation

Concept

  • Evaluate different communication technologies and protocols to see how appropriate they would be for self-organisation approaches in the Smart Grid

--> Emulation platform (Hardware-in-the-loop)

  • Understand dynamics in such a system, get to know the main problems

--> Get the sensor data/simulation results in the needed resolution

  • Verify simulations: Close enough to reality: hardware
  • Evaluate grid & component coordination
  • Real time requirements?
  • Easily switch between coordination approaches (conventional / self-organised / hierarchical) to evaluate their performance

--> Layered concept with defined interfaces


Group 4

  • Participants:

Goal of the Lab

  • Test whether self-organising solutions can help in:
    • achieving better performance
    • mastering complexity in control
    • robustness of the overall system
  • The long-term goal of the lab is providing tools for live-testing of self-organising solutions

More in practice

  • produce hardware/software tools and 
social systems to be deployed to prosumers
    • must be accepted by users
    • must be allowed by providers

Interdisciplinary

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Informatics
  • Information Technology
  • Physics
  • Sociology
  • Economics

The Perfect Lab

  • Provide both simulation tools and experimental platforms
  • Seamless transition from simulation to the physical apparatuses and back

The Setup of the Lab

  • Simulation platform
    • portable language
    • modular
    • characterised against physical devices and realistic user behaviour
  • Need a cluster computing service for parallel simulation

The Setup of the Lab

  • Playground lab for testing the tools
    • Simulating a single household
  • Field tests households (about 20)
