SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES Distributed Energy Technologies Laboratory (DETL) APEC-ISGAN Workshop Smart Grid International Research Facility Network (SIRFN) January 24-25, 2012 Washington, DC Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by
- Easily reconfigurable infrastructure for a variety of
experiments
- Protocols in place to apply international standards
- Ability to assess components (hardware-in-the-loop)
and integrated systems
- Ability to work at large scale, to simulate “real-world”
grid-level effects
- High level of rigor in data collection, calibration, and
accuracy
- Multiple layers of infrastructure: power systems,
data/information processing, communications
Country/Economy Smart Grid Needs (Testbed Perspective)
- Scenarios
– Grid-connected and off-grid – Controllable loads simulate residential, commercial – Multiple sources – Energy storage – Home/building/network EMS
- Optimization of new DG/DER
components and systems
– R&D and product development – Pre-commercial testing and characterization – Protocol and standards development – Demonstration
