Lab on Self-Organizing Smart Grids
From Self-Organization Wiki
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
