Visibility and Obervability of distribution grid assets and grid status
One challenge for the use of decentralized flexibility is the current lack of visibility of the systems and the lack of observability in the distribution grid, as well as the lack of real-time information on the topology of the distribution grid itself. These problems make it difficult to verify the actual need for flexibility as well as to validate or measure the flexibility provided.

Data exchange between different stakeholders as a challenge
The energy system data and the data exchange between transmission and distribution system operators, as well as suppliers and aggregators, are currently only sufficient to a limited extent to enable an appropriate provision of flexibility services.

Organisation of the SIRFN network and technical topics in the project period 2021-2023
Overview of the organisation of the SIRFN network: The work programme for Annex 5 approved by the ISGAN Executive Committee (ExCo), the decision-making body within ISGAN, is divided into two sections, one dealing with the dissemination and exchange of knowledge and the other with the implementation of concrete projects for the further development of the research infrastructure.

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.
