Projektbeschreibung
Innovative Technologien und Instrumente für bessere Stromnetzarchitekturen
Traditionell werden Stromnetze eher mit Wechselstrom gespeist. Dies ist zum Teil darauf zurückzuführen, dass herkömmliche Generatoren üblicherweise Wechselstrom erzeugen und die meisten Endgeräte auf Wechselstrom ausgelegt sind. Erneuerbare Energiequellen ersetzen zunehmend die Generatoren; gleichzeitig gewinnen Technologien, die sich auf Gleichstrom stützen, also beispielsweise Elektrofahrzeuge und Energiespeichersysteme, immer mehr an Bedeutung. Damit wird es immer leichter begreifbar, warum eine Umstellung auf effizientere, verlässlichere und nachhaltigere Gleichstromtechnologien sinnvoll ist. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt TIGON konzipiert ein umfangreiches Portfolio an Leistungselektronik, Verwaltungssoftware und Instrumenten, die den Betrieb optimierter und intelligenter Hybridnetze auf Gleichstrombasis erleichtern. Die Demonstration der Projektergebnisse soll im Rahmen verschiedener Anwendungsfälle, etwa im Eisenbahnsektor, geschehen.
Ziel
DC grids attractiveness has been increased in the last years due to the high proliferation of renewable energy sources together with the increase in DC loads (electronics, LED lighting, electric vehicles, energy storage…). The main drivers behind this paradigm shift are related to the improved efficiency, flexibility, security and reliability DC grids may provide, thus increasing the sustainability of the energy distribution system. However, there is a need for demonstration of DC technologies and grid topologies so that these solutions are able to evolve from a promising solution for the future smart grids to a commercially available technological option.
Under this context, TIGON aims to achieve a smooth deployment and integration of intelligent DC-based grid architectures within the current energy system while providing ancillary services to the main network. To do so, TIGON proposes a four-level approach aiming at improving 1) Reliability, 2) Resilience 3) Performance, and 4) Cost Efficiency of hybrid grids through the development of an innovative portfolio of power electronic solutions and software systems and tools focused on the efficient monitoring, control and management of DC grids. These solutions will be demonstrated in two main Demo-Sites located in France and Spain, while additional use cases in the residential and urban railway sectors will act as niche markets for analysing and further solidifying the replication of TIGON developments after the project’s end.
TIGON has involved for this purpose a multidisciplinary team of 15 partners from 8 different European Member States with a well-balanced consortium integrated by 7 non-profit entities and 7 companies. This partnership provides the required expertise from fields such as power electronics, cybersecurity, standardisation, etc. to design the solutions proposed within TIGON as well as the industrial capabilities required for the manufacturing, integration and validation of the whole TIGON concept.
