Abstract :
Traditional centralized electrical system is changing towards the distributed generation with additional smart control features based system - so called smart grid system. Current SCADA systems for the smart grid are not satisfactory enough and a new supervisory system is needed. The new system, a smart grid testbed, will take into account all of the smart grid components. In the paper a framework for such smart grid testbed is proposed. The framework comprises design of the testbed for testing power system requirements in a smart grid environment. It also provides a platform for further research and development of the grid. In the paper initial implementations steps of the testbed are defined. These steps explain possible ways in which simulation tools can be interconnected, development of the basic simulation of the smart grid using various software tools and the integration of the data acquired from the physical components installed such as hybrid system, PV system and measurements from the smart meters into the simulation.
