Design and Validation Environment

Motivation and Introduction

The integration of renewable energy resources and distributed generation into the current power grid is a major problem
A paradigm shift from a centralised to a distributed energy generation

More intelligence needed to cope with the new challenges, i.e. control, communication and automation strategies Environment for design, simulation and validation of new Smart Grid automation and control concepts needed

Concept for environment integrating possibilities for simulation as well as real hardware tests
