CRESYM is a non-profit association, gathering industrial & research organisations and aiming at solving the coming challenges for the future, fast-evolving European energy system.
We foster collaborative R&D works to deliver opensource energy system simulation tools
We foster efficient collaborations on low-TRL R&D issues of general interest.
We promote, and rely on, opensource principles.
We shall curate and maintain useful technological building blocks available for all researchers & engineers.
We also provide additional services (e.g. training, innovation scouting) to our members and to external clients.
Ongoing projects
U-man
Power system networks are undergoing a rapid transformation due to the increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RES), decentralization of electricity generation, and the gradual retirement of conventional synchronous generators. The overarching objective of U-man is to investigate the different schemes that can be developed to enable TSO-DSO coordination.
AI.grids
Under the aegis of DG Energy AI.grids aims at building the first Pan-European AI foundation model for power grid operations through a collaborative ecosystem of system operators, research organisations, and technology providers. Inspired by advances in large-scale AI models in other domains, the initiative will develop a shared model capable of learning from diverse grid datasets and supporting multiple operational applications, ranging from forecasting and congestion management to planning and asset monitoring.
uSCC
uSCC aims at inventing a new quasi-static short-circuit current simulator, embedding adequate modelling of IBRs, FACTS, HVDC and load. This new approach (simulator, assumptions and validation) could replace the existing one for equipment dimensioning during the planning phase and push the update of the current standard.
