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.

Icing on structures on the nacelle of a wind turbine
Webcam image of superstructures on the nacelle of a wind turbine with recognizable icing, which corresponds to the structure and consistency of clear ice directly on the structures and changes to hard rime as it progresses. The turbine is located at a test site of the Nergica center of applied research in eastern Canada. The webcam image is part of a dataset in the “Task 54 Icing Event Database”.
