Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Documents, reports (4)

Overall requirements, specifications, KPI definitions and use case definition

The deliverable D1.1 will contain a description of the requirements for grid-connected multiport converters obtained based on present and future grid codes and a detailed explanation of the KPI that will be used to evaluate and compare the designed multiport converters. Also, the different study cases will be presented, including the general electric parameters and real-life recorded time-series of load and generation profiles.

Project Management Plan

This deliverable sets out the iPLUG project management plan. The plan covers all processes and links the responsibilities at both person and partner level to assure the generation of high-quality deliverables aligned with the project plan as described in the Action Description. It will be reviewed through the project, particularly before the end of the first reporting period and the end of the second reporting period.

Data Management Plan

The Management Plan (DMP) outlines the procedures employed in the project for the treatment of data throughout and upon project completion, addresses which type of data will be gathered, processed and extracted, establishes which methodology and standards will be applied whilst compiling and treating data, and develops processes for the sharing of data and open access of iPLUG data. Moreover, it details the proceedings with regard to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and describes the ways in which iPLUG guarantees the data protection, information and privacy rights of the organisations. The DMP is a living document which is updated as project execution moves forward and as significant modifications are undertaken.

Intermediate Management Report

Intermediate summary of the activities carried out by each partner. It will include a Project Management Handbook (Definition of the meetings, representatives of each partner and WP leaders, internal communication strategy and risk and contingency plan), Data and Knowledge Management plan (Definition of the items that are subjected to intellectual property and the procedures to exchange information among the partners. Updates will be informed during project reports) and Gender Equality Action plan (On the considered features of the iPLUG technology that must be considered from a gender perspective and how these are addressed)
