Sidroco announces the successful kick-off meeting of the HYNET “PAN-EUROPEAN INTEROPERABLE AC-DC HYBRID ELECTRICITY NETWORKS” project, held on October 10-11, 2024, in Brussels. HYNET, a cutting-edge Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 101172757), officially launched on October 1st, 2024, and will run through September 2027. The project brings together leading energy stakeholders to reshape the future of electricity grids across Europe.
The HYNET projects aims to: (i) develop innovative technologies for transnational design and planning of AC/DC hybrid power systems, (ii) establish standardized methodologies and interoperability for multi-terminal, multi-vendor MVDC and LVDC systems, (iii) define and validate functional requirements for AC and DC grid forming capabilities, (iv) design, implement and demonstrate a complete workbench of innovative solutions that promotes the adoption and deployment of DC power systems across all voltage levels while evaluating the technoeconomic benefits of DC vs AC systems, (v) demonstrate HYNET innovations in 4 countries across Europe in existing and planned AC/DC hybrid grids.
In HYNET, Sidroco provides technical expertise and its experience from previous successful project (SPEAR, SDN-microSENSE, ELECTRON) in the domain of ICT in electrical systems and critical infrastructure.
