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 Advanced Laboratory Testing Methods

Within this SIRFN focus area, advanced methods for laboratory testing of components and electrical power systems are complemented by novel simulation technologies such as Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL), Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) and co-simulation, whose practical experience is however limited and not yet widespread. The SIRFN partner laboratories use their world-class research infrastructure to share expertise and jointly evaluate these new techniques, with the aim of establishing future test procedures within the framework of international standards, and provide recommendations for the optimal application of these techniques in laboratory environments.

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.

Smart home services

Smart homes can deliver a range of services and benefits to households, such as energy management (energy efficiency), demand response (contribute to regulating energy demand), electricity generation, storage and delivery to the grid, comfort, security, entertainment, household management (planning, internet shopping), specialized services (wellness or health management) and assisted living.

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).
