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.

SIRFN Focus Area Power System Testing

Within the framework of the SIRFN focus area "Power System Testing", leading international laboratories are pooling their activities with the aim of developing strategies for testing system aspects of digitalised, renewable energy-based, cyber-physical power systems.

SIRFN Partnerships and Stakeholders

As a global network, SIRFN also works intensively with partners from other relevant networks. These networks include research and development, industry and, in particular, the field of standardisation.

Membrane distillation (MD) laboratory plant at AEE INTEC in Gleisdorf

The MD laboratory system offers the option of connecting different module types and sizes, shown here with a connected test cell. The system can also be operated in different configurations, such as in direct contact mode or with vacuum.

Gruppenfoto IETS Task 21 Consortium Meeting in Graz

On April 9, 2024, a full-day meeting of IETS Task 21 took place in Graz. The meeting provided a valuable platform for exchanging insights and planning further steps for the successful implementation of the tasks within Task 21.

Graphic illustration of different terms from Zeilerbauer et al. (2024)

Figure from Zeilerbauer et al. (2024) (https://doi.org/10.1080/17583004.2024.2408285), which uses a use case to discuss different terms from the area of ​​Circular Carbon.

Vision of the Energy/Carbon Future of Upper Austria 2040

The figure shows the visualized vision developed by the Energy Institute at the JKU in coordination with the stakeholders, which represents possible energy and resource exchanges in 2040 in annual quantities.

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/.

Use of runtime data in a knowledge base

The graphic shows how real-time data from the field level and building data are linked to the knowledge base.

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/
