The Circular Economy is the conceptual framework of sustainable development. Its goal is the production of goods and services while at the same time reducing the consumption and wastage of raw materials, water and energy sources. It is about implementing a new economy that is circular – not linear – based on the principle of “closing the loop” of the lifecycles of products, services, waste, materials, water and energy.

As scientific dissemination, the activities in the “SINERGY” project with a specific focus on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation methods will be presented at the IEEE PES GM. The PES Task Force “Innovative teaching methods for modern power and energy systems" already approved a 10-15 min slot within the TF meeting in which we will present our indented work. This applies for the TF meetings at the IEEE PES GM 2021 and 2022, respectively.
