The poster would be 1 30x40 so I would just need a stand. Title:

From GENI to bare metal - SDN implementations for Basic Security and Performance Testing.

The poster will provide information on resources, topologies and display OpenFlow exchanges. A comparison between architectures will also be provided.

Hello,

Sorry about the late submission - I did not realize that the demo is for both GENI and US Ignite projects. Please find the form for the demo request below. Sorry again about any inconvenience.

Best regards, Bing

Demo Title: Enabling Highly Resilient and Efficient Microgrids through Ultra-Fast Programmable Networks

One-sentence layman's description: This demo shows a working prototype of microgrid emergency control using ultra-fast programmable networks.

Who should see this demo? Attendees interested in smart grid, renewable energy, and microgrid.

Demo description paragraph(s):

Microgrid is an emerging and promising paradigm to improve the resilience of the electric distribution infrastructure. The demo shows our current work on managing microgrid using ultra-fast programmable networks. Communication among various components in a microgrid is through a communication infrastructure, where many types of data with diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements are communicated. The communication infrastructure plays a particularly critical role for microgrids with renewable energy sources due to their much smaller inertia as compared to traditional energy generation sources. We investigate using ultra-fast networks to support reliable and effective control and optimization for low-inertia microgrid.

The demo shows how a programmable network controls a microgrid in a hardware-in-the-loop emulation environment. The microgrid is simulated using Opal-RT, one of the most powerful power system simulators for utilities, R&D centers and manufacturers. The simulated microgrid is created based on a microgrid at the University of Connecticut with high renewable penetration. It contains a fuel cell and a photovoltaic solar panel array as renewable energy sources. The network is managed by an openflow controller. We demonstrate how the microgrid is managed through the programmable network in realtime despite path failures in the network.

List of equipment that will need AC connections (e.g. laptop, switch, monitor): Opal-RT, two laptops, four switches.

Total number of wired network connections (sum standard IP and VLAN connections): One to three wired network connections (one should be fine; three will be great).

Number of wired layer 2 VLANs (if any): 0

Number of wireless network connections (include required bandwidth if significant): three

20-50 Mbps BW estimate according to USIgnite

Number of static addresses needed (if any): 0

Monitor (y/n, specify VGA or DVI): no

Number of posters (max size poster boards are 30" x 40"): 1

One-sentence layman's description: This demo exhibits a new resource impact tool for the architectural design and planning process intended to mainstream sustainable design at a national scale.

Who should see this demo? Attendees interested in building performance, energy and water efficiency, greenhouse gas emission, and sustainable design should see this demo.

Demo description paragraph(s): PlanIT Impact is currently the only design tool that integrates gigabit internet speed, Open Data, and geo-locating infrastructure to provide a 3D-immersive resource impact reporting tool. Ultimately, the purpose of PlanIT Impact is to decrease the negative impacts that our built environment have on our environment. The current reality is that, according to 2013 US Energy Administration statistics, commercial and residential buildings emit almost as much CO2 and use nearly as much energy as the transportation and industrial sectors combined. While design and planning professionals, municipalities and other building-related individuals are actively pushing to reduce these impacts, the tools needed to do so are limited in function and prohibitively expensive to access.

PlanIT Impact is being developed to use Open Data and gigabit speeds to make the design process smarter and more efficient. The tool enables planners, architects, developers, citizens and students to access an aggregation of Open Data to explore building development scenarios and engage in comparative analysis in a visually immersive, 3D design environment. The tool will generate accurate building and site performance projections to help predict building impacts and performance related to energy use, water use, stormwater runoff, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation and connectivity, building mix and density, return on investment, and quality of life.

List of equipment that will need AC connections (e.g. laptop, switch, monitor): Laptop

Total number of wired network connections (sum standard IP and VLAN connections):

• Number of wired layer 2 VLANs (if any): NA
• Number of wireless network connections (include required bandwidth if significant): 1…gigabit bandwidth required
• Monitor (y/n, specify VGA or DVI): Yes…DVI (or HDMI, if available)…32” is fine

Number of posters (max size poster boards are 30" x 40"): 2
