SIRFN-AIT Workshops "Grid-forming converters - testing and validation challenges" - March 2024

International SIRFN experts and participants of the SIRFN-AIT Workshops "Grid-forming converters - testing and validation challenges" visiting the laboratory showcase at the AIT MicroGrid Labor in March 2024.

Validation environment for the SVP EN 50549-10 test scripts at AIT

Illustration of the test setup at AIT that was used to validate the test scripts that were developed within the SIRFN. The setup consists of a real-time simulation system that is connected to the controller board of the AIT Smart grid Converter.

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.

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.

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.

Scope of Resilience Definition

This figure illustrates the chosen framework for assessing the resilience of buildings. The definition focuses on building scale, with consideration of heat waves and power outages for a period of the next 100 years.

Process scheme for integrated Energy Master Planning that leads to a Resilient Energy System

How can we achieve resilient energy supply for buildings with critical infrastructure, based on renewable sources? Let us start with analysing the critical functions, assess the resilience, efficiency and sustainability of existing systems and add innovative and validated renewable energy sources as well as storage elements. This diagram shows you how to proceed.

Campus of the Johannes-Kepler university in Linz

A bird's eye view shows the potential of the university campus JKU. Many buildings from different construction ages can become much more efficient through thermal and electrical renovation. This also makes it easier to supply them with a local energy system based on renewable and combined heating and cooling, and to maintain critical functions even in difficult situations.
