Operation and Control lines
NEES Equipment: Test Specimen, actuators, sensors, hydraulic controls, etc.
Data Acquisition System (DAQ): Acquires data from research Equipment.
NEES “Point of Presence” (NEES POP): Provides a home for NEES grid services at the equipment site.
Hybrid Testing Node: Synchronizes and runs the geographically distributed hybrid tests.

Conclusions Grid architecture allows expensive physical
equipment located in different sites to work together to develop bigger distributed simulations, much larger than could be carried out due to cost and space limitations in any one lab.
UK-NEES is the first grid network to be created in the UK to enable distributed hybrid testing. The grid architecture shown enables connection of heterogeneous hardware platforms at different nodes and user friendly software will allow viewing and participation in testing offering a smooth running solution for collaborative distributed testing.
