Towards a foundation for holistic power system validation and testing
Renewable energy sources and further electrificationof energy consumption are
key enablers for decreasing green-house gas emissions, but also introduce
increased complexitywithin the electric power system. The increased
availability ofautomation, information and communication technology,
andintelligent solutions for system operation have transformed thepower system
into a smart grid. In order to support thedevelopment process of smart grid
solutions on the system level,testing has to be done in a holistic manner,
covering the multi-domain aspect of such complex systems. This paper
introducesthe concept of holistic power system testing and discuss first
stepstowards a corresponding methodology that is being developed inthe European
ERIGrid research infrastructure project.Comment: 2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and

Validating Intelligent Power and Energy Systems { A Discussion of Educational Needs
Traditional power systems education and training is flanked by the demand for
coping with the rising complexity of energy systems, like the integration of
renewable and distributed generation, communication, control and information
technology. A broad understanding of these topics by the current/future
researchers and engineers is becoming more and more necessary. This paper
identifies educational and training needs addressing the higher complexity of
intelligent energy systems. Education needs and requirements are discussed,
such as the development of systems-oriented skills and cross-disciplinary
learning. Education and training possibilities and necessary tools are
described focusing on classroom but also on laboratory-based learning methods.
In this context, experiences of using notebooks, co-simulation approaches,
hardware-in-the-loop methods and remote labs experiments are discussed.Comment: 8th International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic
