3. A Holistic Approach to Energy Grids
• The future grid requires a secure distributed control and
data overlay network (on top of IP)
• Designed to support a whole spectrum of grid applications
(unlike today’s silo’s):
- From off-line to time-critical data capturing with limited data exchange,
using P2P communication, message broadcast/multicast/…
- Reaches into the core grid but can seamlessly be extended
to include residential end-points
- Design takes into account the stringent cyber-security requirements
that are expected from the grid as a critical infrastructure
- Design takes into account scalability, self-healing and autonomous operation
- Allows multiple administrative domains to gain access to the grid
fully respecting the business roles in the market

4. …in combination with a pervasive, distributed
medium voltage synchrophasor sensing layer
• Allow ‘MV’ operator to capture the real-time state of its network
• This full medium voltage smart grid control enables:
- Integration of high level renewables
- Islanding, Microgrid
- Advanced Fault Management
C-DAX overlay + breakthrough PMU* technology
provides the utility a complete view and control
over its his network - anytime, anywhere
* PMU = Phasor Measurement Unit

7. C-DAX: an Implementation Project
• Capture Requirements for C-DAX
derived from Smart Grid Application Use Cases
- Medium voltage (MV) distributed energy resources (DER) and Microgrids
- Market retail transactions
- Low Voltage pervasive DER
• Design (iteratively) and architect C-DAX based on requirements
• Implement a prototype (& functional testing)
• Validate prototype and assess performance (& simulations)
• Lab experiment (realtime emulation lab - integrates field equipment)
• Field trial in a life electricity network (Alliander MSLivelab)
with selected applications

8. C-DAX Communication
• Dissemination
- Targeted conferences / events and publications
(IEEE GreenCom, IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE PES-ISGT, etc.)
• Standardization
- Influence relevant standards (IEC 61850, IEEE C37.118, M490, IEC TC57,
ETSI M2M, Cigre, IETF)
• Collaboration with other projects
• Dissemination on public Web site
- cdax.eu / cdax-project.eu (will be available by end December 2012)
• User Board
- Early dissemination of results to a select group of industry players
- Meetings organized at key project milestones
