H2020 Research Infrastructure Project
Smart grids link various types of energy technologies such as power electronics, machines, grids, and markets via communication technology, which leads to trans-disciplinary, multi-domain system. Simulation packages for assessing system integration of components typically cover only one sub-domain, while terribly
As ERIGrid launches its second call for transnational access to Europe’s leading smart grid infrastructure, Project Coordinator, Dr Thomas Strasser, describes in an interview to Euroasia Industry ERIGrid’s progress to date, its dual focus on research and equipment sharing, and
On 15 March, 2017, ERIGrid will opened the 2nd call for free access within the frame of the ERIGrid Transnational Access programme. If you are looking for sophisticated smart grid infrastructure with top know-how and innovative installations for conducting your
Jointly operated by SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the new Smart Grid Laboratory in Trondheim (NO) was opened in late 2016. The laboratory is system-oriented and provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for R&D, demonstration, verification and
