On 16 October 2018 the ERIGrid project will hold a workshop “Laboratory-Based Services for Smart Grids: Best Practices from the ERIGrid Project” as a side-event of IRED 2018 (8th International Conference on Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources).
Up to now power system testing issues have not been significantly considered in the laboratory context. Future development of smart grid solutions and technologies has been only supported on the component level, however system level issues need to be recognised and examined too. Pure simulation and current laboratory-based approaches need to be combined and enhanced since they are not always sufficient to tackle complex problems. Therefore there is a need for harmonising existing flexible simulation and co-simulation tools and advanced validation methods using hardware-in-the-loop testing environments. Laboratory testing of component and small-scale power system call for improvement as well.
In this workshop, ERIGrid intends to bring together relevant stakeholders, initiatives and projects to discuss the state-of-the-art in laboratory-based smart grid services and future aims. The discussions will also support the knowledge exchange between ongoing projects.
The following research topics will be presented and discussed in the workshop:
- Improvement of existing laboratories with ICT systems
- Developed advanced testing scenarios and corresponding methods forming a systems integration point of view
- Improvement of hardware-in-the-loop approach fostering system integration tests, combining co-simulation and real setups for advanced system integration tests
