Developing and Validating Digital Twins of Active Distribution Networks (DGNet)

Feng, Zhiwang (Principal Investigator) Burt, Graeme (Principal Investigator) Munro, Richard (Technician)

Funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme under Grant Agreement No. 870620, with a total grant of €19,948.

This joint research project, in collaboration with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), develops reduced-order equivalent models of active distribution networks that can act as Digital Twins (DTs). Power hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulations are leveraged to validate the applicability and fidelity of the proposed DTs.

Cyber-Attack Investigations on GFL and GFM Inverters of a Microgrid (CAILIM)

Feng, Zhiwang (Principal Investigator) Burt, Graeme (Principal Investigator) Munro, Richard (Technician)

Funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme under Grant Agreement No. 870620, with a total grant of €49,870.

This joint research project, in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens (Greece), assessed the impact of cyberattacks on the primary and secondary control layers of inverter-dominated microgrids and developed novel schemes to enhance microgrid resilience against cyberattacks on the phase-locked-loop (PLL) of grid-following converters.
