[Test] 🧪 Grid Load Balancing Incentives

[salazarsebas]

🎯 Objective

Verify the integrity of the grid-load-balancing-incentives system, focusing on consumer registration, event initiation, and reward distribution flows to ensure fair and compliant load balancing incentives.

🧪 Test Structure

grid-load-balancing-incentives/src/tests/
  ├── registration.rs    // Tests for consumer registration
  ├── events.rs          // Tests for demand response event initiation
  ├── rewards.rs         // Tests for reward distribution
  └── utils.rs           // Test helpers and setup

🗂 Requirements

• Consumer Registration

  • Test registration of consumers for demand response programs.
  • Verify consumer authorization and registration data integrity.

• Event Initiation

  • Ensure accurate initiation of demand response events by grid operators.
  • Validate handling of invalid or incomplete event data.

• Reward Distribution

  • Test distribution of rewards for verified load reductions.
  • Verify reward accuracy and recipient validation.

• Build and Test

  • Tests must pass with cargo test.

---

🔍 Key Scenarios

• Registration with invalid consumer data.
• Unauthorized attempt to initiate an event or claim rewards.
• Reward distribution with missing reduction data.
• Duplicate registration attempt for the same consumer.
• Event initiation with invalid reduction targets.

📝 Notes

• Cover edge cases like invalid reduction amounts or missing event data.
• Ensure auditable test outcomes for incentive fairness.
• Simulate high-volume consumer participation to test scalability.
• Validate integration with smart-meter-data-ledger for reduction verification.
• Modularize tests to keep files concise and maintainable.
