Overview of regulatory sandboxes worldwide
Regulatory sandboxes are policy instruments that create the appropriate legal framework so that innovators can test new products, services and processes under real conditions that would otherwise not have been possible under the current regulation. Such a regulatory experiment should take place in a temporally and / or physically delimited space and pursue the goal of developing technical and / or service solutions to accelerate the energy transition. The figure shows the status of the implementation of regulatory experimenting in countries worldwide.

Wordcloud
The analysis is based on a systematically observed global communication on Twitter with a data set of more than 70,000 messages between December 2015 and April 2018, all of which contained the hashtag #smartgrid and / or #smartgrids. The main topics related to smart grids throughout the period, i.e. most observed keywords among the top rated were: Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Smart Meters, Storage, Renewable Energy, Cybersecurity and Big Data. The figure shows an example of a word cloud with the 50 most frequent hashtag terms between December 2015 and July 2016.

Organisation of the Smart Grids International Research Facility Network (SIRFN)
ISGAN Annex 5 is divided into two sub-areas dealing with the dissemination and exchange of knowledge on the one hand and the implementation of concrete projects for the further development of the research infrastructure on the other. The work is organised in the following main focus areas : - DER test protocols - Microgrids - Power System Testing - Advanced laboratory testing methods
Copyright: ISGAN Annex 5 SIRFN
SIRFN Focus Area: DER testing protocols
As part of the SIRFN focus are, SIRFN laboratories are developing test protocols for validating the interoperability of distributed energy resources, which can be used in an integrated test platform (System Validation Platform), for implementing a harmonised, international certification standard for all distributed energy resources in the power grids.

SIRFN Focus Area Power System Testing
Within the framework of the SIRFN focus area "Power System Testing", leading international laboratories are pooling their activities with the aim of developing strategies for testing system aspects of digitalised, renewable energy-based, cyber-physical power systems.
