Organisation of the Smart Grids International Research Facility Network (SIRFN)
ISGAN Annex 5 is divided into two sub-areas dealing with the dissemination and exchange of knowledge on the one hand and the implementation of concrete projects for the further development of the research infrastructure on the other. The work is organised in the following main focus areas : - DER test protocols - Microgrids - Power System Testing - Advanced laboratory testing methods

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.
