Introduction and Motivation
▪ SmartNet compares five different TSO-DSO coordination schemes
▪ Validation of the TSO-DSO coordination schemes
o Three demonstration projects (pilots)
o Laboratory tests
▪ Extended validation possibilities using laboratory tests
o Test future scenarios beyond the current regulatory framework
o Anticipate potential issues before implemented in a real scenario
4
Introduction and Motivation
▪ Goals for the laboratory tests
o Analyze interactions between equipment and provide suggestions for
the pilots
o Obtaining a validated simulation environment (also real-time aspects)
o Validation using additional hardware components, not directly covered
in the pilots
o Analyzation of additional communication aspects, such as latency or
packet drops

Italian Pilot Overview
In the involved distribution network, substations and generation units have been
selected in order to have a complete system to test several functionalities with
different devices to guarantee interoperability using the standard protocol IEC61850.
11
The equipment to be installed on the EDYNA MV
network is provided from the manufacturer SELTA.
Valley of Ahrntal, in South-Tyrol, Italy
Molini di Tures Primary Substation
1 HV hydraulic generation and many MV generators
(Hydro, thermo and PV)
▪ Scenario is based on the Italian Pilot
o Further testing of the functionality of the DMS and the Power Plant
Controller (PPC) with a HIL simulation

SmartNet Simulator Laboratory
▪ Communication emulator
o Two main parts
• Back-end for the control of the emulation
• Front-end GUI for user configuration
o Different configurations can be used for different communication
flows
o Profiles are defined with settings for delay, loss, corruption, etc.
o Approximately 1000 different flows can be emulated simultaneously

Conclusions
▪ Problems detected during integration of equipment
o Different components than in the pilots
o Timing between controller and DER
o Wrong bid format used by the aggregator
▪ Discussion on tests results
o Integration technically possible
o Adaption of scenarios necessary to achieve interesting results
o State-of-the-art ICT technologies sufficient
o Price-based control not intended with the SmartNet simulator
