RT20 | AIT's Approach for System Level Testing and Validation of Smart Grid Applications
Video
2020-06-18
| As the landscape of devices that interact with the electrical grid expands, also the complexity of the scenarios that arise from these interactions increases. Validation methods and tools are typically domain specific and are designed to approach mainly component level testing. For this kind of applications, software and hardware-in-the-loop based simulations, as well as lab experiments, are all tools that allow testing with different degrees of accuracy at various stages in the development life-cycle. However, things are vastly different when analysing the tools and the methodology available for performing system-level validation. Until now there are no available well-defined approaches for testing complex use cases involving components from different domains. Smart grid applications would typically include a relatively large number of physical devices, software components, as well as communication technology, all working hand in hand. In this talk we will present the approach used by AIT to tacle this aspect and we will show several use cases investigated in several national and European research projects |
