Leveraging Lab Testing to Validate Grid Edge Use Cases

Join Rob Wolf, PE PMP, Manager on how grids can utilize a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin and test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment.
Grid Intelligence is transforming the way modern power systems operate by combining real-time data, advanced analytics, and AI-driven insights to create smarter, more resilient, and more efficient electrical grids. By enabling utilities to better monitor, predict, and optimize grid performance, Grid Intelligence supports faster decision-making, improved reliability, and the seamless integration of advanced technologies, such as DER’s, wildfire mitigation or virtual protection systems.
However, as more intelligence is moving to the Grid Edge and compliance obligations continue to increase, how can Utilities adapt and validate that a particular solution will address the desired use cases? How can Utilities learn from mistakes of the past, such as promises related to AMI 1.0 or early demand response programs? How can Utilities ensure that their capital funds are going to solve their most challenging issues?
This is where testing and validation comes in. Utilizing a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin, utilities can now test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment. We will show how utilities can:
1) Validate analytics and Grid Edge applications,
2) Use real utility historical data to generate new grid insights,
3) Develop and validate new use cases, and
4) Ensure a utility’s Grid Edge journey generates real business value.
