#Smart Grids
Main Innovations:
Energy storage management and harvesting in a smarter and grid-interactive manner
Problem: DER proliferation on LV grids created new challenges for the network control, but also new opportunities related to flexibility.
Solution: Smart inverters that receive information from local and remote-control systems to maximize self-consumption and minimize negative effects on the grid.
Improved controllability through the LV control infrastructure
Problem: Most DER equipment is not integrated with LV grid control infrastructure, namely smart meters and RTU.
Solution: Field demonstration for proof of concept of communication and control methods between DER and Smart Grid infrastructure.
Use cases and applications:
Energy efficiency
DER
Smart grid
Energy storage
Renewable energy
Multidisciplinary science-based approach:
Power electronics, system integration.
