Work Package H : "Development
of Laboratory MicroGrids"
Work Package Leader
: ISET
Partners involved :
ICCS, SMA, URENCO, GERMANOS, INESC, UMIST, ARMINES
,EPRI
Objectives :
The principal
function of a decentralised grid forming inverter, which is controlled
just by setting the droops is implemented on the basis of the Sunny Island
(SMA). The setting of the droops is not critical concerning time. This
will be used to validate the controllers operation, developed in phases
2-4, in a scaled laboratory model. The DEMOTEC demonstration site available
at ISET is a very well suited environment for demonstrating the results
of the project, as a large variety of equipment, including inverters and
rotating generators, is available.
A further
test facility exists at UMIST, where a special flywheel of URENCO will
be commissioned.
ARMINES has
developed a test bed facility comprising Diesel (3.2 kW), (PV 3
kW), Batteries (10 kWh), Load on a DC bus, a TRACE inverter connectable
to the AC grid and a second test bed facility with PV, fuel cell and hydrogen
storage. These test bed platforms can be also used for models validation
and measurements.
A small laboratory
MicroGrid will be set up at ICCS/NTUA.
