DAEDALOS | Development, integration, and demonstration of Advanced software tools in SCADA systems for combining Teslas and EDisons world to reAlize high, medium and LOw voltage hybrid AC/DC gridS

Summary
The optimised connection between power system design, preoperational planning, and real-time monitoring and control is crucial for effective stability management of future power systems. This applies to both the HVDC/MTDC power system connecting renewable energies and the AC/DC hybrid power system. Real-time capable algorithms and tools play a significant role in enabling optimal operation of the hybrid AC/DC system, ensuring the avoidance of circular flows and supporting security analyses. Additionally, innovative ancillary services such as frequency control, mitigation of periodic frequency fluctuations, voltage regulation, and reactive power control are essential for stability management. Managing and controlling hybrid AC/DC systems and HVDC grids is a complex task that requires a collaborative effort among the main stakeholders such as TSOs, DSOs, OEMs, Policymakers and regulatory bodies and Energy producers and energy consumers.
The DAEDALOS project aims to address this complex task to facilitate the transition of the current power grid towards a novel approach where such AC/DC hybrid systems and MVDC/HVDC grids are foreseen to enable the growth of intermittent renewable energy sources. The DAEDALOS project is a 48-months project, divided in 7 WPs, that sets out to develop a comprehensive framework and specific advanced software tools to support planning, operation and monitoring of AC/DC hybrid systems and MVDC/HVDC grids on a state-of-the-art SCADA system, addressing and going beyond both current and future issues of these systems (such as low frequency oscillations detection and mitigation, RoCoF, short-circuit prevention, inertia estimation, etc.). DAEDALOS novel technologies will be developed and tested at TRL6-7: two demonstrators, one in the campus facility of University of Aachen, and the other in the University of Catalunya facility, will be realised to demonstrate the performances and the overall readiness of the proposed solution.
