Interoperability Testing For Smart Grid

  Mu Helps Smart Grid Operators:

• Prevent service outages through automated testing of Smart Grid communication infrastructure

• Improve Smart Grid resilience and security

• Significantly reduce operational costs

As the industry migrates to an IP-based infrastructure for Smart Grids and energy management applications, standards actually matter a lot in this field.  It's imperative for multi-billion dollars information and electric grid construction projects to operate properly from day one, requiring different, often very complex technologies to interoperate.  Read more about Mu's Interoperability Testing Package here.

A major challenge today with testing fast-evolving Smart Grid networks for interoperability is the sheer number of variations: multiple vendors, multiple systems, multiple versions of software, as well as multiple system configurations. The legacy approach to interoperability testing falls short in the face of complex and dynamic nature of Smart Grid networks.

With Mu's adaptive testing approach, testers leverage the Mu Test Suite to accurately test IP services based upon multiple vendor systems and software versions. Both operators and vendors benefit with the industry's widest choice of pre-compiled test cases and the ability to use Mu Studio to automatically generate their own test cases based on their own network IP service packet captures.  The automation capabilities and reusable test assets greatly improve test effectiveness.
