Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of
Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. SAND2009-2801P
Country/Economy Smart Grid Needs
(Testbed Perspective)
• Easily reconfigurable infrastructure for a variety of
experiments
• Protocols in place to apply international standards
• Ability to assess components (hardware-in-the-loop)
and integrated systems
• Ability to work at large scale, to simulate “real-world”
grid-level effects
• High level of rigor in data collection, calibration, and
accuracy
• Multiple layers of infrastructure: power systems,
data/information processing, communications
DETL:
A Reconfigurable Smart-Grid Testbed
• Optimization of new DG/DER
components and systems
– R&D and product development
– Pre-commercial testing and
characterization
– Protocol and standards
development
– Demonstration
• Scenarios
– Grid-connected and off-grid
– Controllable loads simulate
residential, commercial
– Multiple sources
– Energy storage
– Home/building/network EMS

Value of an International Collaboration
• DETL works with many industry partners interested
in global markets
• Advances in power electronics are taking place
across the globe – access to latest in new
developments
• Greater knowledge/understanding of standards and
protocols from other parts of world can facilitate incountry development
• Development and operations of test facilities can
benefit from knowledge of testbed innovations in
other countries
