Description
Summary:The transformation of our present electricity grids into `smart grids' is crucial for the successful uptake of renewable energy sources in the grid. In a combined effort of 18 European national metrology institutes and 4 universities and research centers, the necessary measurement tools are being developed to facilitate the observability and controllability of this new technology. The extensive research program concerns modeling of smart grid networks for among others determining the optimal measurement locations in smart grids, enhancement of the revenue metering infrastructure to facilitate fair trade between the increasing number of parties active on the grids, performance and evaluation of on-site power quality campaigns quantifying the impact of renewable energy sources on grid power quality, and the development of a metrological framework for traceability in smart grid phasor measurements.
