Imagine the power grid as a giant highway system where cars (electricity) move in different directions and speeds. Currently, mixing different types of power flows can cause traffic jams or crashes. This work creates a smart traffic control system that keeps everything moving smoothly, even when unpredictable wind and solar power are added to the mix.
Current power grids struggle to integrate intermittent renewable energy because they cannot easily manage the mix of AC and DC power. This leads to stability issues like frequency oscillations and potential system crashes.
Advanced SCADA software tools for real-time monitoring, inertia estimation, and stability control in hybrid AC/DC grids.
If you are a TSO dealing with unstable power flows from remote wind farms — this project developed advanced SCADA software tools that prevent system splits and manage frequency fluctuations. This ensures the grid remains stable as more renewables are added.
If you are a plant operator dealing with power quality issues in hybrid AC/DC microgrids — this project developed real-time monitoring tools that estimate inertia and control voltage. This reduces the risk of unexpected power outages in your facility.
If you are an OEM dealing with the need for smarter grid-code compliance in your hardware — this project developed software for reactive power control and short-circuit prevention. This allows your equipment to integrate more seamlessly into modern hybrid grids.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a funded research project.
The project aims for TRL6-7, meaning it is being tested in two demonstrators at the University of Aachen and the University of Catalunya to prove its performance before full scale-up.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, though the consortium includes 8 industry partners who typically manage commercial exploitation.
The tools are designed to be integrated into state-of-the-art SCADA systems, which are the standard control systems used by grid operators.
The project runs for 48 months, from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2028.
The project is heavily industry-driven with a 62% industry ratio, comprising 8 companies and 5 universities across 7 countries. This strong industrial presence, led by RINA Consulting SPA, suggests a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely theoretical research.
