Tuesday, February 14, 2012 12:00 noon Banquet Room (behind the cafeteria) Georgia Power Company 241 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 (Google map) Nathan Ainsworth "Autonomous Smartgrid Testbed: A development and demonstration platform for flexible Smartgrid architectures" $15 for members and guests $7 for retired members students and presenters are free Please reserve online before the deadline 11:59pm Friday, February 10, 2012. |
The Versatile Autonomous Smartgrid Testbed (VAST) is a combined software/hardware-in-the-loop testbed recently constructed at Georgia Tech for testing of emerging Smartgrid control and communication architectures. Unlike other Smartgrid testbeds which generally implement a single test case of a single architecture at substation voltage and power levels, the VAST testbed is built for flexibility and ease of reconfiguration in both hardware and software. This allows testing new algorithms or architectures under a variety of test cases with small upfront investment in both time and money.
The VAST testbed consists of a reconfigurable low-voltage low-power AC grid, an array of both inverter and machine interfaced sources, a reconfigurable load bank, and an integrated measurement and control system. Control at the device, system, and market levels are all physically implemented in the measurement and control system, as well as virtualized communication network. This testbed structure allows for easy implementation of both distributed and centralized algorithms, as well as testing of communication requirements.
Nathan Ainsworth recieved his BS in Computer Engineering at Purdue University in 2005. He served as control design engineer for military vehicle power products at DRS Test and Energy Management from 2005-2008, and received the MSEE in control and electric power at Georgia Tech in 2010. He is presently a PhD student at Georgia Tech.Return to top
