TWINEU – French demonstator (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.

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

New stability issues and phenomena are emerging with the more important part of Power Electronics Interfaced Resources (PEIR), and in particular slow converter driven interactions have been observed in a number of real situations. Their impact – until now – has been limited due to either the tripping of the units or manual effective counteractions. However, all the indicators (SCR, ESCR, etc.), used to measure potential risks of interactions, reach low values in future scenarios until the grid-forming components become predominant in all the system. In this context, it seems necessary to answer these two important questions: 1. Is there a risk of propagation of the adverse interactions through the system or will it remain limited to a few installations? 2. How to understand, explain and reproduce the issue on small test cases?

WOLF-I

WOLF-I stands for Wide-area Oscillations of Low Frequency with presence of IBRs (Inverter-Based Resources). Wide-area oscillations is a complex phenomena on power systems, all the more difficult to model and simulate that power electronics devices are now involved. On the other hand, the technology may bring in new opportunities.

LaRISA – Large Res Integration Stability Analysis

The Slovenian network will experience in the next 10 years a high growth of electricity demand, decreasing inertia due to an high level of RES penetration (40% in energy coverage), and an increasing level of cross border exchanges. Stability issues must be tackled in network planning exercise.
