  With high penetration of distributed renewable energy resources along with
sophisticated automation and information technology, cyber-physical energy
systems (CPES, i.e. Smart Grids here) requires a holistic approach to evaluate
the integration at a system level, addressing all relevant domains. Hybrid
cloud SCADA (Supervisory, Control And Data Acquisition), allowing laboratories
to be linked in a consistent infrastructure can provide the support for such
multi-platform experiments. This paper presents the procedure to implement a
CIM (Common Information Model) compliant hybrid cloud SCADA, with database and
client adaptive to change in system topology, as well as CIM library update.
This innovative way ensures interoperability among the partner platforms and
provides support to multi-platform holistic approach for CPES assessment.
