3rd DERlab Workshop Series in Progress

"Grid-Interfaces of Storage Systems"

Grid-connected Storage Systems are one important element to massively integrate distributed renewable energy sources, which are typically intermittent, into the power system.

The first workshop of this series took place in Prague on June 11, 2009 in conjunction with ... (more)

2nd DERlab Workshop Series in Progress

"Harmonised Interconnection Requirements for DER"

The absence of a harmonised interconnection standard has been identified as one of the most severe obstacles towards the wide deployment of DER and as a result to the change towards active electricity networks. Addressing this diversity has been set as one of the most important objectives of the research community. Thus it is also one of the key objectives of DERlab. As a first step for harmonisation DERlab proposed a structure for a European Standard for ... (more)

Report on the 1st DERlab Workshop Series: 25/06/2008, 17/09/2008, 09/12/2008

"International White Book on the Grid Integration of Static Converters"

The European Union set a binding target for 20% of the EU's total energy supply to come from renewables by 2020.
The resulting high penetration rate of distributed renewable energy sources, which are typically intermittent, will affect the electricity power system. Grid inverters are the key elements to massively integrate distributed renewable energy sources ... more
