SIRFN Focus Area: DER testing protocols
As part of the SIRFN focus are, SIRFN laboratories are developing test protocols for validating the interoperability of distributed energy resources, which can be used in an integrated test platform (System Validation Platform), for implementing a harmonised, international certification standard for all distributed energy resources in the power grids.

Smart home systems
Smart home systems generally consist of sensors and switches connected to a hub (also called a gateway) from which the system is controlled with a user interface via wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone or computer, often via internet cloud services. Smart Homes utilize network connectivity to manage and automate services such as lighting, heating/cooling and washing. This has impacts on energy consumption (and running costs). EDNA investigates such impacts.

Smart home with multiple systems
Smart home with multiple smart systems and interfaces, for example, smart meter display, lighting control display, heating and cooling control display, window status display etc. (This raises concerns about interoperability and acceptance by users).

Stakeholders in the life cycle of IoT enabled heat pumps
Various examples of business models for IoT heat pumps were collected in IEA HPT Annex 56. The diagram shows the stakeholders involved in the life cycle of an IoT heat pump (blue = heat pump value chain, orange = operators and users, green = energy system). All reports are available at https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/annex56/.

Models for IoT heat pumps
The graphic shows different types of models that are relevant for IoT heat pumps. Physical models are based on physical relationships, data-driven models are created using only data. Hybrid models are based on both data and physical relationships.

IoT participation of heat pumps
This graphic describes different types of interaction between connected heat pumps. They range from the cloud connection of an individual heat pump to a networked energy system. The IEA HPT Annex 56 reports provide a detailed overview of the state of the art, interfaces, data analysis and business models and are available at https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/annex56/
