The main objective of SINERGY work package 3 is to establish collaboration with strategic partners, i.e. AIT and NUIG, and enable expertise and “know-how” exchange in the area of smart grids, distributed energy resources, building optimization and building information modelling.

Task 3.1 focuses on the preparation of training courses on Smart Grid Technologies as mainly provided by the partner AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. The course structure is designed to cover all system levels from the grid and its operation down to the individual components (mostly power electronics converters) and the connecting control structures.

This report (Deliverable 3.2) summarizes the proposed training courses in the field of Smart Grid Technologies, the advances of the training based on the courses performed from January 2021 to June 2023. It also serves as an update to Deliverable 3.1 where an overview was provided for the first period of the project.

During this reporting period a total of 12 lectures by 10 different AIT lecturers have been performed (either online or on AIT or IMP premises) which is in line with the project proposal (3 to 6 per year). One training was added with respect to previous reports to provide access to the AIT SimLab environment, which is a virtual laboratory for Smart Energy simulation tasks. Towards the end of the project, 4 more training lectures will be conducted to finalize the AIT training efforts within the Sinergy projects.

The individual courses which have been performed are presented with respect to content, sources, references, and training material.
