T2.3 International collaboration in ISGAN’s Smart Grid International Research Facility Network (Task Leader: DERlab)

The main goals for this Task are: • Collaboration with ISGAN – SIRFN (Smart Grid International Research

Facility Network), APEC Smart Grids Test Beds Network • Support the role of DERLab as Operating Agent of ISGAN

Annex V (SIRFN) • International knowledge sharing and discussions on testing

and validation of smart grid controls (focusing on voltage and frequency control) in research facilities

The aim of this task is to identify the key activities of SIRFN which are in line with ELECTRA and to implement and coordinate the related work.

WP2 – Development of Joint Research Facilities

EERA is an official part of the EU SET-Plan. http://setis.ec.europa.eu/

“The European Energy Research Alliance: EERA and the

EERA JP on Smart Grids”

Luciano Martini

• Alliance that aims to accelerate development of new energy technologies − Strengthen, expand and optimise research capabilities − Improve coordination and cooperation − Reduce fragmentation and duplication − Promote harmonisation of National and EC programmes

• Called for in the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan

• Participation in EERA is in principle open to all research organisations − Not just a membership; need to bring in significant R&D capacity

• Based on own resources

21 ELECTRA – SIRFN Workshop @ IRED 2016

24 October 2016, Niagara Falls, Canada

Laboratory facilities and Research infrastructures (RIs) are vital for smart grid technology and solutions development … RIs are needed for testing prototypes and systems, for checking the interoperability of these new systems, for assessing their performance and integration in the whole system, and also for certificating their compliance with related standards. Apart from economic concerns, RIs require a great deal of specialization, given the complex/sophisticated technical tools and systems that have to be managed. RIs are to be used for evaluation of innovative solutions before or instead of being implemented on large-scale and costly DEMO

• Objective 1: To design the information flows and control mechanisms required to synchronise the activities of the different stakeholders for managing voltage and frequency in 2030+ power system

• Objective 2: To develop concepts and methods for increasing network observability as a vital basis for novel controls

• Objective 3: To develop robust coordination functions for multiple controllers across different control boundaries

• Objective 4: To conduct experimental testing of ELECTRA controllable flexibility solutions in a lab environment

• … … … • Objective 0: To support CSA activities at European and extra-EU level
