“…Focusing on the energy domain, some standards already provide in their specification interoperability (IOP) testing procedures, even if they are incomplete, such as the IEC 61850 (Part 6 -Configuration Testing, part 10 -Conformity Testing of Servers, etc.). Bleiker et al [15] have presented an extensive methodology for testing interoperability building upon these guidelines, while also providing additional measures for both IEC 61850 and IEC 61968/70 (CIM). Nevertheless, specifically for DR-related aspects, there are still limitations concerning end-to-end data exchange that have not been identified in any interoperability testing procedure, which is mainly attributed to the ongoing evolution of such schemes in the smart grid context.…”

Demand Response (DR) systems are gaining momentum in the EU energy markets albeit based on fragmented standards that, as a result, hinder interoperability. These discrepancies necessitate the introduction of a semantically enriched umbrella framework that will allow DR systems to exchange and consume data transparently, an issue that is currently unaddressed. Furthermore, to support semantically interoperable DR architectures, a multi-layer compliance testing framework is required that will examine and quantify the technical, syntactic and semantic properties of individual DR systems. In this work, the aforementioned gaps in the literature are addressed by, first, introducing an OpenADR-based semantic enrichment component. According to the guidelines of the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) framework, a concrete evaluation procedure of this component is presented, which allows for a step-by-step syntactic and semantic testing. Following the identification of the instruments composing the testbed and the equipment/links under test at SGAM's communication and information layers, the Basic Application Interoperability Profiles (BAIOPs) are defined and their involved steps are described. Experiments demonstrate the validity of the presented methodology, while also evaluating the introduced component.

Due to the new digital control structures of cyber-physical energy systems (CPES), where the control interventions no longer take place physically on site but are triggered, released, executed and acknowledged remotely by automated control systems, there is not only the risk of incorrect actions by plants or operators, but also of possible attacks or misuses. In this contribution, we propose an integrated security-by-design approach (on a conceptual level) for testing the interoperability of various heterogeneous systems (e.g., TSO-DSO communications) by combining multiple, but yet separated, state-of-the-art approaches. With the objective of eliminating or minimizing the impact of cyber incidents, best practices from various sectors have been adapted and integrated with well-established methods and standards from the energy sector, such as the IEC 62559‑2 use case template.
