ERIGrid European Research Infrastructure supporting Smart Grid Systems Technology Development, Validation and Roll Out

Goal

Past and ongoing research activities had their focus mainly on the validation of certain aspects of the smart grid. However, an integrated approach for analysing and evaluating of complex configurations in a cyber-physical system has not yet been available. The lack of solutions for smart grid validation on system level is addressed in the project ERIGrid. Within ERIGrid pan-european research infrastructures are made available. Thus technology development and introducing smart grid solutions and concepts is supported.

The ERIGrid project follows an integrated approach and research services for analysing, validation and testing smart grid configurations are improved. A main aspect of the project is to promote education for industrial and academic researchers by offering an exchange opportunity. Above that the access to the SESA lab to external researches is made available.

The main contributions of OFFIS are the specification of a holistic process for defining and designing experiments for certain use cases and providing the co-simulation infrastructure via the SESA-Lab and mosaik.
