• By 15 December: Apply for ERIGrid Transnational Access
• ERIGrid cooperates with smart grid research
• Read up on latest developments in ERGrid
• Poster supported by ERIGrid wins best poster award at IRED 2016
• ERIGrid at IEEE International Forum Smart Grids for Smart Cities 
• Recent ERIGrid Resources

Engineers from research, academia and industry only have a couple of days left to apply for free access to Europe's top smart grids research laboratories.

The ERIGrid project provides validation, testing and simulation facilities free of charge for your experimental research, backed by concentrated know-how and best practices in the field of smart grid systems and distributed energy resources.

The expenses, including travel and accommodation, will be reimbursed, subject to ERIGrid rules and regulations.

For all details please visit the ERIGrid Transnational Access section.

One of the reports – “Progress report on the cooperation with international and national projects and initiatives within the scope of ERIGrid” – provides an overview of ERIGrid collaborative activities during the first year of the project. These include the information exchange on smart grid scenarios, use cases, research infrastructures requirements and needs, and testing and evaluation methodologies.

The report “ERIGrid scenario descriptions” summarises the overall workflow in the project and methodological viewpoints. As a conclusion, the document presents three smart grid system configurations which will serve as a basis for further developments in the project.

• Global network stability studies including Hardware-under-Test (HUT)
• HUT testing for more realistic network events

The presentation “Is there a need for formalized design & validation methods in integrated energy systems?” covered the current situation, future needs for analysing and validating smart grids, and other aspects of system validation in smart grids.

The slides from the presentation are available in ERIGrid Resources, along with other materials.
