Collaborative Research Platform for Investigating the Impact of Digitalization on Robust Network Operation

Abstract

Due to the limitation of achievable hardware versatility in existing energy simulation laboratories, the digital networking of different laboratories of specialized competences is a promising approach for allowing higher simulated system complexity, combining the expertise of different working groups and a heterogeneous experimental environment. Within the framework of the research project Future laboratory Digitalization Energy (ZLE), the laboratories of the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer (HS Emden/Leer) and of the German Aerospace Center (DLR - VE) Institute of Networked Energy Systems have been connected for first co-simulation tests. The prospective objective is the investigation of the digital and increasingly decentral controlled supply of flexibility in low-voltage (LV) grids in the context of robust grid operation management.
