Abstract
With the increasing penetration of distributed renewables i.e. more variable generation, the challenge in grid balance and power quality is being escalated. However, due to the availability of huge data, advancement in the operational concept and the digitalization of the power system components, power grid operators are becoming more intelligent to be able to handle the dynamic behavior of the renewables. The concept presented in this paper aims for the need of world-class digital power system laboratory to address research needs for modern power systems, which will support the digital and green transition. The conceptualized infrastructure is organized in 3 coordinated Infrastructure setups that will jointly constitute an integrated state of the art laboratory environment. Through close localization and the use of low latency, high bandwidth communication solutions, the respective infrastructure setups will be tightly connected. The solutions presented here will sufficiently represent the complexity of the power system dynamics and provide a realistic environment to develop and test future digital power system operation, which is essential both for the academic research and industrial actors and is relevant to carry out and lead cutting edge research projects.
