Using large-scale local and cross-location experiments for smart grid system validation
For smart grid researchers and engineers, this work addresses the challenge of creating realistic testing environments without field installations by connecting specialized labs.
The paper presents a novel approach for large-scale co-simulation across different labs to enable realistic testing of smart grid technologies, overcoming the limitations of time-consuming and project-specific experimental setups.
For robust testing of new technologies used in future, intelligent power and energy systems, realistic testing environments are needed. Due to the dimensions of a real-world environment a field-based installation is often not viable. More efficient instead of a local installation is to connect existing and highly sophisticated labs with different focus of specialization. Today's experimental setups for the Smart Grid domain are very time-consuming solutions or specific implementations for a single project. To overcome this challenge, an innovative concept for a novel approach for large-scale co-simulation across locations (different labs) is presented in this paper.
