The ERIGrid project developed an integrated, cyber-physical systems-based, multi-domain approach for the holistic testing and validation of smart grid solutions to address the increasing complexity of power system operation.
บทคัดย่อ
The paper provides an overview of the main achievements and results of the ERIGrid project, which aimed to tackle the research and development needs for validating smart grid configurations from a holistic, cyber-physical systems perspective.
The key highlights include:
-
Development of a holistic validation methodology and improvement of simulation-based methods, hardware-in-the-loop approaches, and lab-based testing for comprehensive smart grid validation. This includes the creation of a procedural support for adopting complex test platforms, co-simulation techniques, and multi-laboratory integration through the JaNDER platform.
-
Creation of educational resources, such as e-learning tools, hands-on laboratory exercises, webinars, and training schools, to develop the necessary skills and expertise for the energy transition among students, researchers, and professionals.
-
Provision of free access to the ERIGrid research infrastructure, comprising 19 facilities across 11 European countries, to external researchers, engineers, and students through 75 implemented user projects covering a wide range of smart grid-related topics.
The paper also discusses the experiences and lessons learned from these activities, as well as the need for further research and development to address the integration of electric power systems with other energy domains and the standardization of multi-domain cyber-physical energy systems validation procedures.

"Power system operation is of vital importance and must be developed far beyond today's practice to meet future needs."
"Nearly all European countries are facing an abrupt and very important increase of renewables with intrinsically varying yields which are difficult to predict."
"An increase of new types of electric loads and a reduction of traditional production from bulk generation can be observed as well."
"The level of complexity of system operation steadily increases."
"ERIGrid provided free access to 19 facilities across 11 European countries to external researchers, engineers, and students through 75 implemented user projects."
คำพูด
"Previous and ongoing research have tended to focus on how specific aspects of smart grids can be developed and validated, but until now there exists no integrated approach for analysing and evaluating complex CPES configurations."
"System-level validation of smart grid solutions can be a complex effort. A typical CPES solution, such as a distribution grid centralized demand response control system encompasses multiple disciplines (market, ICT, automation, infrastructure, etc.) and physical infrastructures (electricity, communication networks, etc.)."
"Tackling the contemporary significant challenges requires a skilled workforce and researchers with systemic/holistic thinking and problem-solving skills."
