3 Background and Motivation The large scale integration of distributed, renewable generators and controllable loads makes the operation of the electricity grids more complex Advanced ICT approaches and smart algorithms are required to master the steadily increasing complex requirements Communication, automation and control systems are key elements of future smart grids Further trends: deeper involvement of consumers and market interaction Source: IEA 3

4 Need for Smart Grid Development and Validation Support Past Individual domains of communication systems and power grids have been often designed and validated separately Future Requirements in the smart grid context now demand a simultaneous coverage of both domains The complex design & validation process of smart grid systems requires appropriate tools and procedures SIMULATED SYSTEM / COMPONENTS REAL SYSTEM / COMPONENTS SIMULATED SYSTEM / COMPONENTS REAL SYSTEM / COMPONENTS SIMULATED SYSTEM / COMPONENTS Power System Analysis Power Grid Control System Power Quality, etc. Central Control IED Local Control IED Local Control Communication Electrical Signals Power, Voltages Control Signals Measurements Parameters Components Generators, Storages, Loads, etc. + - SCADA / DMS / HMI Control Center SIMULATED SYSTEM / COMPONENTS REAL SYSTEM / COMPONENTS REAL SYSTEM / COMPONENTS SIMULATED SYSTEM / COMPONENTS REAL SYSTEM / COMPONENTS 4

14 Conclusions Future smart grid systems becoming more complex due to an higher automation degree In order to efficiently master the design, development and validation process advanced methods and tools are necessary Model-driven engineering and domain-specific concepts/models seems to be a promising approach Future activities and research should be focused on Improvement and integration of design and validation tools from different domains (power system + ICT + markets + consumer behaviour) Development of system level validation procedures and benchmark criteria Improvement of research infrastructures supporting system level validation Education, training and standardization is also a key factor 14
