Abstract
Reliable and efficient energy supply is based not only on local control but also on remote sensor data and measurements, making communication one of the important components. The increasing threat of possible attacks is the motivation behind the main purpose of the FUSE testbed—an experimental microgrid for smart grid research—to conduct experiments on smart grid security, grid optimization, stabilization and islanding. This work, after providing an insight of the current state of the art concerning research on microgrids, describes the FUSE experimental facility as well as first experiments including partial measurement equipment installation and data collection and analysis.
Highlights
A microgrid consists of several distributed generators as well as loads, storages and information and communication technology for monitoring and control operations
Decentralized power generation demands more sophisticated control methods, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) components increase the risk for cyber-attacks and classical hierarchical top-down structures tend to be substituted by cell-based architectures, based on microgrids
In order to investigate attack scenarios and their impact on grid operation and control actions, an experimental microgrid facility is being established at the TU Wien for research on Future Self-Organizing Energy Networks (FUSE, https://fuse.project.tuwien.ac.at/)
