Item An integrated research infrastructure for validating cyber-physical energy systems(Springer Verlag, 2017) Strasser, T. I.; Moyo, C.; Bründlinger, R.; Lehnhoff, S.; Blank, M.; Palensky, P.; van der Meer, A. A.; Heussen, K.; Gehrke, O.; Rodriguez, J. E.; Merino, J.; Sandroni, C.; Verga, M.; Calin, M.; Khavari, A.; Sosnina, M.; de Jong, E.; Rohjans, S.; Kulmala, A.; Mäki, K.; Brandl, R.; Coffele, F.; Burt, G. M.; Kotsampopoulos, P.; Hatziargyriou, N.; Strasser, Thomas; Wahlster, Wolfgang; Marik, Vladimir; Kadera, Petr; POWER SYSTEMS; Tecnalia Research & InnovationRenewables are key enablers in the plight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cope with anthropogenic global warming. The intermittent nature and limited storage capabilities of renewables culminate in new challenges that power system operators have to deal with in order to regulate power quality and ensure security of supply. At the same time, the increased availability of advanced automation and communication technologies provides new opportunities for the derivation of intelligent solutions to tackle the challenges. Previous work has shown various new methods of operating highly interconnected power grids, and their corresponding components, in a more effective way. As a consequence of these developments, the traditional power system is being transformed into a cyber-physical energy system, a smart grid. Previous and ongoing research have tended to mainly focus on how specific aspects of smart grids can be validated, but until there exists no integrated approach for the analysis and evaluation of complex cyber-physical systems configurations. This paper introduces integrated research infrastructure that provides methods and tools for validating smart grid systems in a holistic, cyber-physical manner. The corresponding concepts are currently being developed further in the European project ERIGrid.Item Validating intelligent power and energy systems – A discussion of educational needs(Springer Verlag, 2017) Kotsampopoulos, P.; Hatziargyriou, N.; Strasser, T. I.; Moyo, C.; Rohjans, S.; Steinbrink, C.; Lehnhoff, S.; Palensky, P.; van der Meer, A. A.; Morales Bondy, D. E.; Heussen, K.; Calin, M.; Khavari, A.; Sosnina, M.; Rodriguez, J. E.; Burt, G. M.; Strasser, Thomas; Wahlster, Wolfgang; Marik, Vladimir; Kadera, Petr; POWER SYSTEMSTraditional power systems education and training is flanked by the demand for coping with the rising complexity of energy systems, like the integration of renewable and distributed generation, communication, control and information technology. A broad understanding of these topics by the current/future researchers and engineers is becoming more and more necessary. This paper identifies educational and training needs addressing the higher complexity of intelligent energy systems. Education needs and requirements are discussed, such as the development of systems-oriented skills and cross-disciplinary learning. Education and training possibilities and necessary tools are described focusing on classroom but also on laboratory-based learning methods. In this context, experiences of using notebooks, co-simulation approaches, hardware-in-the-loop methods and remote labs experiments are discussed.
