The Industrial Internet Consortium Microgrid Testbed: Design, Implementation, and Lessons Learned
Monday, March 18, 2019 | Track B | 4:45 - 5:15 pm
With well over 200 members, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is the world's leading organization accelerating the networked future of industrial systems. The IIC mission is to develop the guidance needed to securely connect and profitably deploy intelligent systems across devices, edge, and cloud.
The IIC microgrid testbed addresses the computing architecture for future DER systems. DER systems will require a fast, reliable, synchronized distributed network. The IIC testbed seeks to prove that microgrid designs can leverage the modern software architectures developed in "Industrial IoT" industries. The technology is proven in thousands of applications, including autonomous vehicles, air traffic control, military systems, and hospital device networks. It is also being used for large power systems, including the massive Grand Coulee Dam hydropower plant and Siemens Gamesa wind turbines.
This talk will explain how the testbed uses and extends the OpenFMB design developed and used by Duke Energy, Oak Ridge National Labs, and others.

Erik Felt
Market Development Director, Future Grid
Real-Time Innovations
Erik Felt is the Market Development Director for Future Grid at RTI where he is focused on bringing the benefits of IIoT standards and systems into the utility market. Erik joined RTI after spending seven years with GE Power (including five years with Alstom Grid prior to the GE acquisition) in the Software Solutions/Energy Connections business unit. His focus was on software solutions in the areas of SCADA, Energy Management Systems (EMS), Generation Management Systems (GMS) and Synchrophasor applications. Throughout his career, Erik has worked with utilities, generation companies and ISO/RTOs worldwide where the rapid changes in technology and the market's diverse needs required implementation across the utility spectrum. Early in his career, he worked in distribution engineering at two Midwestern utilities and in a consulting role on numerous automation projects for utilities across the Midwest.
