Workshop: Test Beds for Smart Grids and Smart Cities: Means of Learning What Is and What Might Become in the Changing Electric Energy Industry. March 30-April 1, Carnegie-Mellon

第十届卡内基梅隆大学电力工业年会将于2015年3月30日至4月1日在卡内基梅隆大学举行。随后将于2015年4月1日至2日举行一个小型实践研讨会。最后两天将是一个国际研讨会，由德国DFG共同资助。CMU电力会议十周年的主要目标是在多学科合作的基础上讨论未来电力系统的最先进的试验台；试验台作为一种手段，可以帮助业界和学术界模拟和评估许多非常规硬件和网络解决方案，以及政策要求的影响。在研讨会上，卡内基梅隆大学的研究人员还将与社区分享他们正在与NIST合作开发的“室内智能电网模拟器”（SGRS）。最后，研讨会旨在促进智能电网测试平台领域的国际知识交流。电力行业正处于十字路口，有必要设计良好的测试平台，以模拟不断发展的电网中可能出现的动态，并帮助行业评估拟议的替代网络解决方案，以确保根据行业和社会的需求提供足够的性能。在研讨会上，将向更广泛的社区展示正在进行的测试平台开发，然后讨论下一步的挑战和机遇。由业界人士组成的小组将从他们的角度讨论该领域，以促进与业界需求相关的学术界研究。研讨会将有助于为不断变化的电力能源行业建立一个多学科的建模者、软件和平台开发人员社区。讲习班的发展以及后续的研究和合作预计将有助于电力领域的基础教育和对其未来发展的展望。当今测试平台的开发人员将展示他们最先进的测试平台，并将讨论他们在测试平台开发中的经验和学到的教训。一些正在进行的测试平台开发并不容易被更广泛的社区访问，并且这个研讨会将有助于鼓励更广泛地访问和使用这些设施。

The Tenth Annual Carnegie Mellon University Conference on the Electricity Industry will be held on March 30-April 1, 2015 at Carnegie Mellon University. This will be followed by a hands-on smaller workshop on April 1-2, 2015. The last two days will be an internationalworkshop, co-funded by the German DFG. The main goal of this 10th anniversary CMU Electricity Conference is to discuss the state-of-the-art in testbeds for future electric power systems in light of multi-disciplinary collaborations; and testbeds as a means for helping the industry and academia to simulate and assess many unconventional hardware and cyber solutions, as well as the effects of policy requirements. At the Workshop, Carnegie Mellon researchers will also share with the community their "Smart Grid in a Room Simulator" (SGRS) which is under development in cooperation with NIST. Finally, the Workshop aims to nurture internationalknowledge exchange in the area of testbeds for smart grids.The electric power industry is at a crossroads, and it is essential to have well-designed testbeds for emulating likely dynamics that will occur in the evolving power grid and help the industry asses alternative proposed cyber solutions to ensure adequate performance in light of the needs of industry and society. In the Workshop, on-going testbed developments will be presented to thebroader community followed by discussion of challenges and opportunities for next steps. A panel of industry practitioners will discuss the area from their perspective to stimulate research in academia that is relevant to industry needs. The Workshop will help in building a multi-disciplinary community of modelers, software and platform developers for the changing electric energy industry. Developments from the Workshop and follow-on research and collaborations are expected to contribute to basic education in th eelectric power area and to a vision for its future development. Developers of today's testbeds will present their state-of-the-art testbeds, and will discuss their experience in testbed development and lessons learned. Some on-going testbed developments are not readily accessible to the broader community, and this Workshop will help to encourage broader access and use of these facilities.
