Strong digitalization and shifting from unidirectional to bidirectional topology have transformed the electrical grid into a cyber-physical energy system, i.e. smart grid, with strong interdependency among various domains. It is mandatory to develop a comprehensive and holistic validation approach for such large scale system. However, a single research infrastructure may not have sufficient expertise and equipment for such test, without huge or eventually unfeasible investment. In this paper, we propose another adequate approach: connecting existing and established infrastructures with complementary specialization and facilities into a cross-infrastructure holistic experiment. The proposition enables testing of CPES assessment research in near real-world scenario without significant investment while efficiently exploiting the existing infrastructures. Hybrid cloud based architecture is considered as the support for such setup and the design of cross-infrastructure experiment is also covered.
