DER-GRID Smart Facility

Infrastructure

The DER-GRID smart facility is a flexible and scalable R&D renewable to grid integration infrastructure. The infrastructure includes amongst others:

• Smart inverters

• Battery Storage Systems

• Home energy Management Systems

• Smart loads/plugs

• IoT communication devices

• Cloud-based interoperable interfaces

UCY Nanogrid “Living Lab”

The DER-GRID Facility further functions as a “Living Lab” and exposes students to reallife scenarios and use cases regarding the operation of future smart grids and devices.

Use cases

• Nanogrid operational funcitonality.

• Interoperability communicative flows (Sunspec, Modbus TCP, etc.)

• Smart Home automated management

• Photovoltaic (PV) power production forecasting platform

• Smart inverter ancillary services

• Demand response from smart appliances (OpenADR)

Demonstration services

• Integration of distributed energy resources (DER), standards and grid codes

• Interoperability and communication testing

• Grid assets monitoring based on IIoT devices

• Solar PV production forecasting (day- and hour-ahead) and load forecasting

(short-term)

• Forecast-based grid condition simulation

• Assessment of demand response in future smart grids
