Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
Expected Outcome:Integrating renewable and distributed energy resources, such as photovoltaics (PV) and energy storage devices, into the electric distribution system requires advanced power electronics, or smart inverters, that can provide grid services such as voltage and frequency regulation, ride-through capabilities, dynamic current injection, and anti-islanding functionality. To enable this integration, designing novel smart inverter technologies, developing robust control algorithms for better inverter functionality, determining interactions between multiple smart inverters and between inverters and utility distribution systems, supporting standards development for smart inverter functionalities, and analysing the impacts of smart inverters on distribution systems is necessary.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Scope:Proposals are expected to:
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV). As such, projects resulting from this topic will be expected to report on the results to the European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV) in support of the monitoring of its KPIs.
