This paper introduces the District Optimization Testing (DOPTEST) concept, which naturally extends from the Building Optimization Testing (BOPTEST) framework, for simulation-based testing of advanced control strategies in districts. While the focus of the BOPTEST framework is on individual building control, DOPTEST is meant to assess system integration strategies at a district level. This paper lays down the design requirements and modeling methodology for district emulators in DOPTEST and shows a simulation example of its first test case prototype.
