International SINERGY Conference on Smart and Innovative eNERGY management

From September 26 till 28th 2023, the Institute “Mihajlo Pupin” had an honor to host the International SINERGY Conference on Smart and Innovative eNERGY management! During the three days of the conference we gathered 27 papers, and 68 authors from a large number of countries. The conference presenters raised a number of questions in the field of smart networks, energy efficiency, big data processing, while also discussing the application of different artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for big data analysis, combined with a number of other relevant topics.

The photovoltaic power plant in “Mihajlo Pupin” Institute Campus

The station, containing 180 solar panels 280W each, total power 50kW, was completely realized owing to the funds and efforts of the Institute experts, who in four months went through the whole procedure including preliminary design, obtaining permission, construction, commissioning, and acquiring the status of the privileged power producer.

The photovoltaic power plant in “Mihajlo Pupin” Institute Campus

The system for surveillance and control of power plant consists of two miniature RTU pAtlas (produced by IMP Automation & Control Systems) mounted in the DC and AC cabinets, meteorological sensors (detecting wind speed and direction, the temperature of the panels, insolation), communication with the inverter (ModBus) and communication with the power meter (DLMS protocol) and SCADA View 4 software (product of IMP Automation & Control Systems). Using Web browser the real time and archival data on plant operation can be obtained, and the meteorological data is also available on the web site.

AIT Training

Austrian Institute of Technology - AIT (Austria) engages within national and international initiatives to shape the future Smart Grid from planning and operation via ICT and controls towards components and systems. In SINERGY, AIT provides short courses and workshops (6–8 hours per day, up to 1 week), a constructive combination of complementary lectures topics in the domain of smart grid technologies.

Staff exchange (AIT, IMP)

SINERGY organizes mutual exchange of personnel between IMP and the strategic partners AIT and NUIG. Distinguished foreign researchers (from AIT and NUIG) will participate in expert group meetings and training of IMP researchers. Apart from hosting the distinguished foreign researchers, SINERGY will organize both short-term and long-term stays of IMP personnel in the premises of strategic partners.

SINERGY Ph.D. Worksop at PUPIN Technology Transfer Office, November 2022

SINERGY Ph.D. Workshops bring together Ph.D. students from Serbia, Ireland, Austria, as well as other countries from West Balkan, with the prime objective to - create a network for future collaborations on topics of common interest (smart grid technologies, power electronics, energy efficient buildings), - develop capacities of PhD researchers for conducting research on complex energy management topics, - map the individual research progress and boost Creativity, Innovation and Creative Problem Solving.

The primary objective of SINERGY is to strengthen the research capacity and further unlock the innovation potential of IMP, transforming it into a regional Centre of Excellence in the smart energy management. Once established, as a novel regional excellence centre, IMP will promote the added value of smart energy management technologies, co-ordinate research efforts and unite scarce research resources in this field in the Southeast Europe region, but also encourage communication with leading external EU parties, aiming at full integration into the European Research Area (ERA). In this way, IMP will be capable of further disseminating the project outcomes (strategies, policies, training courses, webinars, etc.) and supporting companies and institutions (both research and industrial) in the region to strengthen their EU competitiveness. To reach SINERGY ambitious objectives, a strategic partnership and transfer of multidisciplinary “know-how” from leading EU research institutions, and beyond, will play the main role in gaining and exchanging the related competences needed for the development of high impact innovative energy management solutions suitable for efficient and reliable energy networks of the future.
