Smart Grid Testing The Smart Grid Testing group researches new holistic and cross-departmental approaches to operational management, cyber security and situation awareness of intelligent energy networks.
The undergoing energy transition from fossil fuels to high penetration of renewable energy sources changes the view on power systems. The integration of distributed energy resources together with new market participants (e.g. Prosumers), causes stress and uncertainty to the grid. Digitalization counteracts this effect by introducing advanced solutions based on information and communication technologies (ICT), emerging so-called Smart Grids, while poses new challenges due to an increased complexity, interdependencies between power and ICT, making the ICT-related issues such as cyber security more relevant and critical.
Key challenges in Smart Grids are to develop and evaluate new holistic and multi-domain approaches for operational management, cyber security and situational awareness. With the help of unique test infrastructure at OFFIS, Smart Energy Simulation and Automation Laboratory (SESA-Lab), the research group “Smart Grid Testing” (SGT) researches on the following topics to tackle these challenges:
- Multi-domain simulation environments under real-time capabilities with focus on power and ICT domain as well as hardware-in-the-loop and SCADA applications
- Integration of innovative and experimental functions, services and applications into SCADA systems
- Assessment and improvement of operational cyber security
- Investigation of virtualization concepts to the engineering process and operational management of substation automation systems
- Trust assessment of components, processes, and services in a Smart Grid by means of functional correctness, safety, security, reliability, credibility, and usability
