Abstract: Advanced distribution management systems (ADMSs) embrace several online and offline monitoring and control features to ensure power delivery with reliability, continuity, and quality. By having data about the system’s topology, ADMS can obtain real-time field measurements to perform further analysis on the network and automatically respond to events or support operators’ decisions. Academia has been advancing the current state of the art of ADMS by proposing more sophisticated solutions that aim to address the ongoing changes in active distribution networks. However, such solutions are commonly tested in offline environments, neglecting the dynamics and challenges related to real-world field equipment and communication protocols. The most faithful power systems solution can get tested before actual deployment is through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, where electrical systems are simulated in real-time digital simulators, and physical equipment is integrated into the simulator through analog hardwiring and communication protocols. Considering the need for more realistic testing and validation of proposed solutions to facilitate real-world deployment, this research proposes and presents an HIL testbed for ADMS’s testing purposes that may guide future studies in the area. Along with the testbed, an automatic outage restoration ADMS feature is formulated and tested on the proposed HIL system, where the benefits of pushing validation to the most faithful testbed are highlighted.
