Integrating Power-to-Heat Services in Geographically Distributed Multi-Energy Systems: A Case Study from the ERIGrid 2.0 Project

Giuseppe Silano, Evangelos Rikos, Vetrivel Rajkumar, Oliver Gehrke, Tesfaye Amare Zerihun, Carmine Rodio, Riccardo Lazzari

TL;DR

This paper not only demonstrates the practical application of Geographically Distributed Simulations and Hardware-in-the-Loop technologies but also highlights their effectiveness in enhancing system flexibility and managing grid dynamics under various operational scenarios.

Abstract

This paper investigates the integration and validation of multi-energy systems within the H2020 ERIGrid 2.0 project, focusing on the deployment of the JaNDER software middleware and universal API (uAPI) to establish a robust, high-data-rate, and low-latency communication link between Research Infrastructures (RIs). The middleware facilitates seamless integration of RIs through specifically designed transport layers, while the uAPI provides a simplified and standardized interface to ease deployment. A motivating case study explores the provision of power-to-heat services in a local multi-energy district, involving laboratories in Denmark, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Norway, and analyzing their impact on electrical and thermal networks. This paper not only demonstrates the practical application of Geographically Distributed Simulations and Hardware-in-the-Loop technologies but also highlights their effectiveness in enhancing system flexibility and managing grid dynamics under various operational scenarios.
