Testbed Problem Statement

Testbed aims to support academic and industrial evaluation of TCIPG and other Smart Grid technologies

Experimental evaluation is critical for emerging technologies – Challenge is to create virtual environment faithful to reality … – That is measurable, repeatable, flexible, and adaptable to emerging technology while maintaining integration with legacy gear Leverages multiple funding sources to provide efficiency

Testbed Objectives

  • Diverse inventory of domain-specific hardware, software and

simulators

  • Integration of live hardware/software, hardware and software

simulators/emulators into a unified virtual environment

  • Intuitive description of experiment followed by automated

configuration and data harvesting

  • Repeatability
  • Federation

Testbed Key Accomplishments

  • Horizontally and vertically scalable virtualization platforms in

use and to be expanded with use of DETER

  • Creation and polishing of research tools for integration into the

testbed

  • Leveraging industry provided data (e.g., PMUs) and provide a

repository for secure data redistribution amongst approved researchers

Testbed Tasks Completed

  • Integration of new hardware and software to augment

research capabilities (RTDS, power modeling, protocol harnesses, data concentration, security monitoring and assessment)

  • Integration of DETER experimentation framework to provide

dynamic computer resource allocation and hierarchical topologies

  • Domain-specific traffic generation, interception, and

coupling with simulation systems

  • Evaluation of emerging technologies for their use in the

testbed and pursuit of applicable technology through both donation and purchasing

Example use of Testbed by TCIPG Activities

  • Topology Perturbation for Bad Data Detection

– Leverages RTDS, DETER, and other testbed resources extensively to provide modeling and validation of research ideas

  • Specification-based IDS for AMI

– Leverages smart-meter testbed emulation to prototype and refine research

  • S3F Network Simulation Engine

– Leverages testbed hardware and domain-specific software to advance scaled cyber-physical simulation

Testbed Directions for Coming Year

  • Ongoing expansion of DETER to support vertically scaled

resources and customized integration of domain-specific hardware

  • Expansion of automated reconfiguration of domain-specific

hardware and software

  • Increased interaction with industry and other testbeds to

evaluate technology use, match direction, provide insight, and increase engagement
