HYNET AIM

HYNET ambition centers around advancing the integration, stability, and resilience of hybrid AC/DC energy distribution networks. It aims to develop innovative operational tools for power dispatch, voltage control, and security within these grids, addressing the current challenges in transitioning from traditional AC systems to hybrid ones that integrate DC components. The project introduces new control algorithms, protection mechanisms, and grid-forming capabilities to manage the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and power electronics. Additionally, HYNET plans to enhance network security, facilitate islanding operations, and support investment planning by incorporating multi-energy modeling, thus enabling more efficient grid management across varying conditions and supporting the European energy transition. Through real-world demonstrations in diverse settings, HYNET targets to establish a robust framework for the future of European energy systems.
