Advanced digital lab infrastructure for the development of smart power grid

Abstract

With the increasing penetration of distributed
renewables i.e. more variable generation, the challenge in grid
balance and power quality is being escalated. However, due to
the availability of huge data, advancement in the operational
concept and the digitalization of the power system
components, power grid operators are becoming more
intelligent to be able to handle the dynamic behavior of the
renewables. The concept presented in this paper aims for the
need of world-class digital power system laboratory to address
research needs for modern power systems, which will support
the digital and green transition. The conceptualized
infrastructure is organized in 3 coordinated Infrastructure
setups that will jointly constitute an integrated state of the art
laboratory environment. Through close localization and the
use of low latency, high bandwidth communication solutions,
the respective infrastructure setups will be tightly connected.
The solutions presented here will sufficiently represent the
complexity of the power system dynamics and provide a
realistic environment to develop and test future digital power
system operation, which is essential both for the academic
research and industrial actors and is relevant to carry out and
lead cutting edge research projects.
