Starting from September 15 and up to December 15, 2016, the ERIGrid project welcomes applications for its first call for transnational access. Users from research, academia and industry are invited to apply for free access to top European smart grids research laboratories of ERIGrid partners including the PowerLabDK facilities.
Submission Deadline: December 15, 2016
PowerLabDK now offers an invaluable opportunity for those who are looking for sophisticated smart grid infrastructure with top know-how and innovative installations for conducting your own experimental research.
Through the ERIGrid project, of which PowerLabDK and the Technical University of Denmark are partners, it is now possible for successful applicants to gain free access to ERIGrid testing and simulation facilities, backed by concentrated know-how and best practices in the field of smart grid systems and Distributed Energy Resources (DER), for example:
- Power system components characterisation and evaluation
- Smart grid ICT / Automation validation
- Co-simulation
- Real-time simulation and Power/Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and others.
“ERIGrid partners offer a wide range of installations and invaluable competences to assist successful applicants with conducting experiments. Such a common framework of applied smart grid expertise will accelerate the development of an integrated pan-European research infrastructure,” says Thomas Strasser of AIT, Coordinator of ERIGrid.
For further details please visit ERIGrid.eu or contact PowerLabDK project administrators: Jacob Østergaard and Henrik Bindner.

Up to December 15, 2016, you can apply for the current call for researchers exchange as an individual researcher or together with colleagues as a User Group (UG).
Candidates must fulfil the following requirements:
-Be employed by organisations located in the European Union or associated European states. Limited access is also provided to applicants from non-EU countries and other developing countries (please read the guidelines for more information)
-The UG leader and the majority of the UG must work in a country other than the one where the requested infrastructure is located
-Must be able to publicly report about the conducted user project
The starting time and length of the user projects are flexible. The duration of the stay at the research infrastructure is normally limited to 3 months. The expenses, including travel and accommodation, will be reimbursed, subject to ERIGrid rules and regulations.
