WHAT IS ISGAN?                  IN SUMMARY… Interna'onal  Smart  Grid  Ac'on  Network  =  

•  Ac0vi0es  build  a  global  understanding  of  smart  grids,  address  gaps    in  knowledge  and  tools,  improve  peer-­‐to-­‐peer  exchange  

•  Includes  representa0ves  of  governments,  na0onal  laboratories    and  research  ins0tu0ons,  transmission  and  distribu0on  system  operators,  power  generators,  and  others  from  24  countries  and  European  Commission  

•  An  ini0a0ve  of  the  Clean  Energy  Ministerial  

•  Organized  as  the  Implemen0ng  Agreement  for  a  Co-­‐Opera0ve    Programme  on  Smart  Grids  (ISGAN)    

Platform to bring high-level government attention and action to accelerate the development and deployment of smarter, cleaner electricity grids around the world.

and Projects

Where  possible,  common  contextual  informa5on,  metrics,  KPIs  

BUILD GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING AND TOOLS, FOSTER PEER EXCHANGE

•  Interna0onally-­‐comparable  case  studies;  casebooks  

•  Methodologies  for  benefits  &  costs,    grid  “smartness”  

•  Integrated  tools  

•  Translate  complex  data/info  to  inform  decision  making  

•  Outreach  &  educa0on  (e.g.,  discussion  papers,  webinars,  workshops)

TECHNICAL COOPERATION ISGAN  technical  coopera'on  iden'fies  core  transmission  and  distribu'on  system  needs  as  well  as  supports  joint  evalua'on  of  emerging  smart  grid  concepts  through  a  network  of  test  bed  and  research  facili'es.    

•  Technical  ac0vi0es  create  a  framework  for  

experts  to  share  emerging  best  prac'ces,  develop  and  share  new  test  methods  and  capabili0es,  and  enhance  lab  and  test  bed  performance  

•  Joint  evalua'on  of  advanced  PV  inverter  test  protocols  underway  

A smart and strong electrical infrastructure contributes to energy, economic and environmental goals.

ISGAN recognizes that smart grid is not a single solution; it’s a portfolio of tools and technologies.

ANNEX 5 SIRFN: WHAT IS IT? The Smart Grid International Research Facility Network (SIRFN, ISGAN Annex 5) is a coordinated network of Smart Grid research and test-bed facilities and selected projects in countries participating in ISGAN. SIRFN’s collaborative test and evaluation capabilities can be leveraged by the international community to enable improved design and implementation of smart grids.
