Testing Smart Grid Equipment and Systems

Smart Grid Testing determines if and how well the automatic and control systems will function correctly and fully every time and how well given all the circumstances they will encounter in the field these systems will perform. In some ways it bears a resemblance to software testing , in that it must assess in detail and completely the functions of a complicated serially-programmed sequence (the smart grid functions) within a larger framework of a system interconnected to and running in parallel and around it. Individual units of the smart grid system are can be tested in simulations that replicate the conditions, equipment, signals and control inputs, and sensory readings they will receive in the field.
