VSYNC

Start and end dates: 
January, 2007 to December, 2010
Prevailing Stage of Development: 
Research & Development
Brief description and/or other information regarding the project: 
ELECTRICA is implementing The Virtual Synchronous Generator (GSV). ELECTRICA, together with the Polytechnic University from Bucharest and another eight research and education institutions from Western Europe, are part of a project to implement the virtual synchronous machines stabilizing the frequency in the distribution networks where there is a high degree of decentralized power generation (VSYNC project). The VSYNC was installed at Cheia in Prahova county (Romania) within the Power Distribution Branch “Electrica Distribution North Muntenia”.
Project full name: 
Virtual Synchronous Machines (VSG's) For Frequency Stabilisation In Future Grids With A Significant Share Of Decentralized Generation
Countries involved: 
Project Main Application: 
Aggregation (Demand Response; VPP)
