ScorePlus: A Software-Hardware Hybrid and Federated Experiment Environment for Smart Grid

Published:13 October 2016Publication History
Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

We present ScorePlus, a software-hardware hybrid and federated experiment environment for Smart Grid. ScorePlus incorporates both a software emulator and hardware testbed, such that they all follow the same architecture, and the same Smart Grid application program can be tested on either of them without any modification; ScorePlus provides a federated environment such that multiple software emulators and hardware testbeds at different locations are able to connect and form a unified Smart Grid system; ScorePlus software is encapsulated as a resource plugin in the OpenStack cloud computing platform, such that it supports massive deployments with large-scale test cases in cloud infrastructure.
