April 2017 - Database of DER and Smart Grid Research Infrastructure

Research Infrastructure available within SIRFN

ISGAN Annex 5, Smart Grid International Research Facility Network (SIRFN) gives the participating countries the ability to evaluate pre-competitive technologies and systems approaches in a wide range of Smart Grids implementation use cases and geographies using common testing procedures. Research within each individual member country will derive the value of the unique capabilities and environments of the other partner nations. Data from these tests will be made publicly available to the Smart Grids community to accelerate the development of Smart Grids technologies and systems, and enabling policies.

Indian Institute of Technology

Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi is a premiere research institute in India. Several research publications, patents and break -through innovations have seen the sun from here. Apart from degree courses including under -graduate, post -graduate and PhD, almost every field has a research laboratory well equipped and with expert guidance from world -renowned professors. I have worked extensively on power quality improvement in standalone generating systems with simulation and real -time implementation in laboratory environment with successful validation of results. The institute ranks among the top universities in the world especially in Electrical Engineering.

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)

The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), one of the largest public research organizations in Japan, focuses on the creation and practical realization of technologies useful to Japanese industry and society, and on “bridging” the gap between innovative technological seeds and commercialization. For this, AIST is organized into 5 departments and 2 centers that bring together core technologies to exert its comprehensive strength. AIST, as a core and pioneering existence of the national innovation system, has about 2000 researchers doing research and development at 10 research bases across the country, based on the national strategies formulated with the changing environment involving innovation in mind.

Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI)

The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) is a non-profit government-funded research institute in Republic of Korea (South Korea). Established in 1976, KERI is a non-profit government-funded research organization that has been at the forefront of technological excellence. KERI has been contributing to research on electrotechnology and testing of power apparatus as a Korean government-sponsored institute. Main office is in Changwon, Republic of Korea and two branches are in Ansan and Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
