The ERIGrid Project

The ERIGrid 2.0 Project held its 9th General Assembly in Roskilde, Denmark at DTU - Technical University of Denmark Risø Campus. Fruitful discussions were held on the progress of the project and its finalisation in 2025. The General Assembly was concluded with a tour of the DTU SYSLAB, focused on "Test facility for distributed and integrated energy systems". Thank you to all our consortium partners and DTU, especially, for being a great host! #ERIGrid2 #smartenergy #energysystem #powersupply #PowerSystems #SmartGrids #DistributedEnergy #EnergySystemValidation #EnergyEngineering #RenewableEnergy #DistributionNetworks #Horizon2020 #h2020project #EU #H2020

On September 24th-25th, the Research Infrastructure Automation Workshop took place in Roskilde, Denmark at DTU - Technical University of Denmark. The workshop, hosted at PowerLabDK in DTU and co-organised by ERIGrid 2.0, RISEnergy, DERlab and NEST - National Energy System Transition Facilities, gathered about 40 participants from all over Europe. The RI Automation Workshop included insights from a great line-up of speakers from ISGAN #SIRFN, OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES, and many others. Participants and speakers joined for inspiring panel discussions, networking, demonstrations and lab tours. The workshop concluded with discussions on how the community will carry on with joint activities, and a 2025 instance of the workshop was anticipated by several participants. We look forward for the collaborations to continue through the networks established ERIGrid 2.0, RISEnergy, ISGAN #SIRFN and NEST - National Energy System Transition Facilities initiatives and beyond. #ResearchInfrastructure #RIautomation #Workshop #WorkshopResults #DTU #RISEnergy #DERlab #ISGANSIRFN #ERIGrid #RenewableEnergy #Horizon2020 #h2020project #EU #H2020

I am excited to share that I recently had the incredible opportunity to conduct a research visit at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria. During my visit, we collaborated on The ERIGrid 2.0 Project (Connecting European Smart Grid Infrastructures), a pioneering initiative focused on advancing smart grid technologies. I am immensely grateful to have worked alongside such a dedicated team passionate about innovation and knowledge sharing. A special thank you to Reza Arghandeh, Mehak Khan, Thomas Strasser, Mark Stefan, Bharath Varsh Rao, and Elisabeth Mrakotsky. Your support has been invaluable! I truly appreciate the camaraderie and teamwork that made this experience so enjoyable. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and exploring new opportunities together in the future. #AI #Energy #Research #ERIGRID #Teamwork #AIT #Vienna #CI2lab #Innovation

It was a pleasure to talk about Emerging skill needs and educational tools for the digital energy transition at the IEEE Power & Energy Society ISGT Europe conference in Dubrovnik. Insights from the Every1: Enable eVeryone's Engagement in the eneRgY transitiON project, the EDDIE Energy Digitalization Edu Erasmus project , The ERIGrid 2.0 Project and the IEEE PES Task Force on “Innovative Teaching Methods for Modern Power and Energy Systems”. Many thanks to Marina Oluic and Jelena Ponoćko for organizing the special session on " Digitalization in Power Systems – a Key Enabler of the Energy Transition". Great talks by all the panellists.

We've completed another productive week of experiments with the SGILab team from JRC at Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE SpA. Our work on Power-Hardware-In-the-Loop (#PHIL) solutions for #RealTime applications, as part of the The ERIGrid 2.0 Project is progressing well. This week’s activities have brought valuable insights, moving us closer to our objectives in the development of new techniques in #Real-Time simulations. We'll continue to share updates as we make further progress in the coming weeks.

We would like to highlight some of the ERIGrid 2.0 Success Stories 🔍 Sajjad Asefi was one of the people whose project got selected after his application for Lab Access and he had the opportunity to visit the Ormazabal company (UDEX lab) in Spain. The project focused on the condition monitoring of instrument transformers using partial discharge (PD) measurements. At UDEX (Demonstration and Experimentation Unit) laboratory, Sajjad was able to conduct comprehensive experiments demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing PD data from healthy and defected instrument transformers for online condition monitoring. The project concluded with preliminary implementation and demonstration of AI-based methods for PD detection, showcasing the potential of advanced techniques in predictive maintenance of instrument transformers. “The ERIGrid 2.0 Lab Access provided invaluable resources and a real-world environment for conducting the experiments." - said Sajjad Asefi, - "Special thanks to UDEX lab experts, Nabil Akroud, Aritz Hurtado, Ian Gilbert, and Inaki Orue, who hosted me at UDEX and helped me a lot throughout the project."

Panel Sessions at MedPower2024 Conference in Athens! Tuesday 5/11, 14:30-16:00 ADVANCED SIMULATION AND LABORATORY METHODS IN POWER SYSTEMS moderated by Panos Kotsampopoulos In the complex digital and multi-energy era, the role of simulation and testing is expected to play an increasingly important role. This panel will explore next-generation research infrastructure methods, tools, and digital services. Advances on hardware in the loop simulation will be presented, focusing on recent standardization activities. Distributed simulations across different research infrastructures will be discussed, along with a live demonstration, based on the H2020 ERIGrid 2.0 project experiences. The role of digital twin as the next step in simulation and advanced test-bed will be explained. The panel will include important insights from the industry (vendors and users). Panelists Thomas Strasser, Natalie Samovich, Georg Lauss, Giuseppe Silano, Marija Stevic, Vasilis Kleftakis #EnergySystems, #Laboratories, #DigitalSimulation, #RealTimeSimulation, #DigitalTwins For more information visit https://medpower2024.org

We are delighted to have hosted the CCIP KHAS team for two weeks at our Distributed Energy Resources Test Facility of Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE SpA. Thanks to the The ERIGrid 2.0 Project Transnational Access program, we had the opportunity to explore ways to detect vulnerabilities and enhance the cybersecurity of smart grids by integrating Federated Learning. The collaboration will continue in the coming months—stay tuned for more updates! Riccardo Lazzari Oguzhan Ceylan aydogan ozdemir Mert Biricik Tuba Aleyna Uğurlu

The last two days have been quite busy at DTU Wind and Energy Systems with discussions regarding sector coupling and system integration towards a 100% renewable energy society. At energy system integration lab (SYSLAB) we are running the future everyday. Why you say so - you might ask. If you go through the pictures you will see how we have coupled e-mobility, (district) heating, with the power sector. That was the topic of discussion with Branchefællesskab for Intelligent Energi. Do you know that Denmark can be considered a front-runner in all these sectors (e-mobility, district heating/heat pumps, and renewable energy)? Such large system integration is not possible without automation. Thus, the perfect place for the grid automation workshop from The ERIGrid 2.0 Project. You can enjoy the last picture that shows in real-time the production & consumption situation from SYSLAB. SYSLAB provides the possibility to remotely measure and control every unit part of the lab. Ps: You can see some familiar faces : Jacob Østergaard, Francesco Pastorelli , Kai H. , Thomas Strasser , Artjoms Obusevs
