Webinar: IEC61850 standard: what for, which benefits, what pending challenges? How is the Osmose project contributing?
3 May 2021 15:00 CEST – This webinar introduces the IEC61850 standard on communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices at electrical substations, and its benefits. The interoperability needs and issues are presented, as well as the IEC61850 scope and structure, its applications fields, and complementarity with other standards. It concludes on the ongoing developments within the OSMOSE project for the standard’s implementation (subject of a second webinar).
Webinar: Advanced weather forecasting for RES applications: multi-source observations to improve solar forecasting within the Smart4RES project
29 Apr. 2021 13:00 CEST – ISGAN and Smart4RES invite you to the 2nd part of its webinar series on Advanced Weather Forecasting. This webinar will present solar irradiance forecasting methods based on a network of ground-based sky cameras, radiometers and ceilometers as well as satellite data. Furthermore, new designs to data assimilation are presented that combine the best of the observations with the best of numerical weather prediction models to produce optimized weather forecast for RES applications.

Webinar: Innovative solutions for increased regional cross-border cooperation in the transmission grid: the FARCROSS project
1 Mar. 2021 12:30 CET- The webinar will provide insight into the FARCROSS Horizon 2020 EU research project. Driven by recent development in EU internal market for electricity regulation, increased cooperation is key element for improving the interconnectors’ utilization and market harmonization. FARCROSS project looks into these challenges and promotes integrated hardware and software solutions in 5 pilot demonstrators across 8 European countries.
21st Meeting of the Executive Committee (ExCo)
The 21st Meeting of the Executive Committee (ExCo) of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) will take place March 16th-18th, 2021 as a virtual meeting.
CEM12/MI6 will be in the week commencing 31 May 2021
Smart5Grid kickoff meeting
The project will investigate the implementation of 5G connectivity in Energy sector, by developing 4 demonstrators in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Greece, for testing different applications in energy industry and Smart Grids. Besides that, the project will also develop a framework to facilitate the development of NetAPPs, fostering the access to new markets for SMEs.
Capturing Flexibility in Local Energy Systems Workshop
Canada, with ISGAN Annex 6, is hosting a public workshop titled “Capturing flexibility from local energy systems,” inviting participants to explore the role distributed energy resources (loads, storage devices, and small generation) will have in a deeply decarbonised, next generation smart grid.
Webinar: Extracting value from data sharing for RES forecasting: Privacy aspects and data monetization
17 Dec 2020 @ 14:00 CET
Duration: 1h
Recent works in renewable energy sources (RES) forecasting, have shown the interest of using spatially distributed time series and assumed that data could be gathered centrally and used, either at the RES power plant level, or at the level of a system operator. However, data is distributed in terms of ownership, limitation in data transfer capabilities and with agents being reluctant to share their data anyway.
The goal of this presentation is to rethink those learning problems by reformulating them as distributed learning problems and exploring two paradigms: privacy-preserving analytics and data markets. It will start by presenting the paradigm of collaborative RES forecasting and the challenges to implement a privacy layer for data from multiple owners. Then, the different algorithmic solutions for that data markets are discussed together with its applicability to RES forecasting. In this context, agents will be incentivized to collaborate, either through monetization of data or a privacy protocol for data exchange. This Webinar is proposed by the European H2020 Smart4RES project (http://www.smart4RES.eu)
