Project RESINET: RESIlience enhancement in energy NETworks
The RESINET project addresses the key topic of energy grid resilience in light of the transformation from centralized, unidirectional systems to networks with a significantly higher share of renewable and fluctuating energy sources (“prosumers”), increasing storage capacities within the grid, and controllable loads. Overarching outcomes include the development of methods and algorithms to enhance the resilience of energy networks.
The specific goals of this project include:
Developing a methodology for the numerical assessment of energy system resilience
Designing a methodology for production topology aimed at minimizing vulnerability to grid failures and ensuring failure-tolerant operation during outages
Creating a dynamic, real-time control system for generation and consumption units to stabilize the grid
Developing demand and generation forecasts for energy networks and integrating them into dynamic control systems
Evaluating the use of thermal and electrical energy storage systems to enhance grid resilience, along with defining requirements and suitable condition monitoring sensors for these storage units
This project is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
