Smart Grid Simulation Environment

Score

The main result of the project is a smart grid simulation platform combining different tools and computing engines, which can be used as a teaching and research environment in universities and companies. The result is also a proprietary software and system architecture created for the simulation platform. In addition, the result is the software components developed in the project for simulating smart grids. It may be possible to commercialize or utilize the platform and software developed in the project for educational exports. In the short term, the project will have a positive impact by providing a key new tool for training and research on smart grids for universities and companies, and by promoting cooperation between project partners. In the long term, the project will contribute to the increased use of renewable energies and thus to low carbon through its impact.

Measures

The simulation platform models typical electricity distribution networks from sparsely populated and urban conditions, their consumption profiles and scenarios for the spread of distributed resources. In addition, the use cases of the smart grid business with its implementations are modeled. The aim is to develop the most versatile visualization of simulation results in the simulation environment.

Background

Smart grids are a key tool for the wider use of renewable energy sources. The aim of the project is to create a simulation environment for smart grids for the needs of education, research and companies. The environment models, simulates and verifies the effects of smart grid properties in an electrical energy system. The goal is to design and implement an IT solution that differentiates between simulation, functionalities, resources, and market participants.
