Introduction
System-level validation of smart grid solutions can be a complex effort. A typical
smart grid solution, such as a distribution grid centralized demand response control
system encompasses multiple disciplines (market, ICT, automation, infrastructure)
and physical infrastructures (e.g. electricity, communication networks). Interactions

among automation systems, enabling ICT, and electricity infrastructure are in the
nature of such solutions and make testing the integrated system a necessity.
As motivated in Sect.
1.2.2
, appropriate testing for such Cyber-physical Energy
Systems (CPES) is challenging as it requires availability of multi-disciplinary engi-
neering expertise, as well as suitable tool integration regarding the testing platforms
[
17
]. A re-organization of testing practices in research and industry is ongoing to
harvest the benefits of the advanced integration of system components using suitable
testing tool chains and workflows.
In this chapter, we aim to support this re-organisation of testing practice, by
offering answers to the following questions:
i
. How can system validation efforts be framed as experiments in order to account
for complex system requirements and functions, the multi-disciplinary experts,
and the wide variety of employed experimental platforms?
ii
. What information is necessary to record in an experiment description, to fully
document purpose, structure and execution of experiments for coordinated both
planning and reporting purposes?
This chapter offers a viewpoint for harmonization of system validation efforts
by focusing in the problem of test formulation. Considering question i., At first, the
problem of system testing is formulated, which leads to a generalized procedural
pattern, to be called ‘holistic testing procedure’, introduced in Sect.
2
. Here ‘holistic’
refers to the procedure’s generality, as it should be, in principle, applicable to simple
as well as very complex testing problems. To address question ii., a test description
method is introduced in Sect.
3
which is based on the named procedure.
