TWINEU (pilot 8)

The power system is undergoing major changes due to the integration of renewable energy and power electronics. To support system operators from day-ahead planning to real-time operations, new smart assistant tools are being developed. Despite these tools, operators will continue to play a central role in anticipating issues, coordinating distributed controls, and managing balancing and congestion. To prepare these future operators, existing decision support tools need upgrading and realistic testing environments. This goal is being pursued through the European project TWINEU (Pilot 8), with further enhancements from the TRAISIM side project—both forming parts of a unified initiative.

TRAISIM

The objective of this project is to build a power system training Digital Twin that could be used to train future operators. This training Digital Twin will be partly developed by the European project TWINEU (Pilot 8, covered by Task 5.5 - A power system training simulator for complex and critical situations) and be enhanced by this side project called TRAISIM. TRAISIM focuses on the acceleration of the real-time simulator embedded in the training simulator, where the simulation must operate at least as fast as the actual physical processes it replicates.

D-GITT

D-GITT (Detailed Grid Inner Topology Timeseries) is about giving access to node-breaker description timeseries of power grids, starting with 6-month history at 5' intervals for the French transmission grid. This experimentation shall be part of the LF Energy project OpenSynth.

DP Sim

DPsim is a real-time capable power system simulator that supports dynamic phasor and electromagnetic transient simulation as well as continuous powerflow. It primarily targets large-scale scenarios on commercial off-the-sheld hardware that require deterministic time steps in the range of micro- to milliseconds.

Inter-oPEn

Complementary to other related research (interOPERA, HVDC-wise, etc.), Inter-oPEn investigates how openness ("whiteboxes" especially) can unlock interoperability issues of power electronic (PE) devices in power systems, marrying both technological and legal aspects. The project is sponsored by EC's Horizon Europe program
