Smart Grid use case testbed at Altice Labs

The SliceNet Smart Grid use case testbed is currently being deployed in Aveiro. The tesbed is hosted in two different sites:

• Altice Labs – in Altice Labs we have the 5G network management
• IT (Instituto de Telecomunicações) – in IT we deploy the 5G network infrastructure and the Vertical devices (IEDs).

There is a phased iterative plan for the use case testbed deployment, vertical integration and validation tests.

• Phase 1 will start with the 5G service subscription, which should provide the vertical with the necessary resources for remote engineering and monitoring and device-to-device communication.
• Phase 2 will include a network of Efacec IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) communicating with each other via IEC 61850 R-GOOSE (Routable-Generic Object Oriented Substation Events).
• Phase 3 will cover the more demanding power grid protection and self-healing algorithm simulations.
