ELECTRA engagement and consultation following CIRED 2016 workshop

Published on Wednesday, 22 June 2016 11:15

cired workshop electra 2016 engage Nearly 50 delegates from the CIRED 2016 workshop participated in an interactive ELECTRA side event in Helsinki on 15th June 2016. The event started with an opening explanation of the Web of Cells concept and associated real time controls. The attendees then heard an explanation of the plans, use cases, and SGAM modelling developed for laboratory validation, and participated in an interactive online feedback session. The final session included a description of the control room visualisation and decision support needs of the future decentralised power systems, and was again supported by a feedback session. The results of the online feedback sessions will be collected and reported on, however there is an opportunity for another month to continue the debate and feedback here.
