• Objective 1: To design the information flows and control mechanisms required to synchronise the activities of the different stakeholders for managing voltage and frequency in 2030+ power system

• Objective 2: To develop concepts and methods for increasing network observability as a vital basis for novel controls

• Objective 3: To develop robust coordination functions for multiple controllers across different control boundaries

• Objective 4: To conduct experimental testing of ELECTRA controllable flexibility solutions in a lab environment

• … … …

• Objective 0: To support CSA activities at European and extra-EU level

The ELECTRA IRP overarching goal is to reinforce the EERA Joint

Programme on Smart Grids with the aim to strengthen coordinated

European research towards the European SET Plan targets.

General IRP Objectives

Research

and

Development

ACTIVITY

Coordination

and

Support

ACTIONS



R&D activitiesin the ELECTRA IRP

1. Decentralized control scheme for future reserves activations

based on local observables:

solving local problems locally

and

separation of concerns /

divide-and-conquer

2. Load Frequency Control Areas smaller cells that are

responsible both detecting the need for reserves activations as

well as for the reserves activation itself

3. Local collaboration between cells based on local observables

instead of global collaboration based on frequency as global

observable

WEB of Cells concept



Voltage : obvious

System Balance : restore as aggregated effect

of restoring local cell balances

Cell balance setpoint = (aggregated) cell

tie-line powerflow schedule (cfr FCR)

Web-of-Cells Concept

Detect and Solve local problems

locally based on local observables, and

using local resources, acknowledging

that:

causes are highly distributed and

local (the problem)

reserves providing resources are

available locally (the solution)

detailed local grid status information

is needed to activate securely and

effectively

Divide-and-conquer / Separation of

Concerns: large LFCA smaller cell

secure and efficient decision in

computational tractable time

mitigate communication and

aggregation/disaggregation

complexity, delays and risks



Web-of-Cells Balance Control



Four WPs dedicated to Coordination & Support Actions

CSA activities:

• WP1 - Coordination and Networking

Coordination with the EERA JP SG, with other IRPs

and JPs, with Advisory Board and EU grid stakeholders

• WP2 – Development of Joint Research Facilities

Database of EU smart grid research infrastructure,

its improvement, collaboration with ISGAN

• WP9 – Researchers Exchange

Training of young researchers, increase cooperation and share

knowledge in smart grid controls

• WP10 – INCO activities

Foster collaboration with extra-EU countries, establishment of

International Coordination Board, share information and knowledge

Coordination activities in the ELECTRA IRP



“European smart grid research infrastructure database”

In September 2016, a completely re-designed version of the database

was launched, accessible via: http://infrastructure.der-lab.net/.

It contains more than 190 RI from over 45 Institutes.

WP2 - European SG-RI database

about ongoing smart grids programs

and projects

2. Sharing of national vision, strategy

and priorities

3. Selection of R&D topics of mutual

interest

4. Exchange of publicly available data

and results

5. Selection of areas/topics for potential

joint R&D collaborative projects

6. Definition and launching of joint

R&D tasks

7. Execution of joint R&D activities

involving the use of research

infrastructures and REX

8. Additional INCO activities of mutual

interest
