BACKGROUND and RELEVANCE FOR THE PRIORITY 6
SUSTDEV

• What is the problem to be solved?
• Study, design, development and validation of
  new power electronic converters for distribution
  networks based on advanced power electronic
  components, including optimized control
  strategies.
• Why it should be solved?
• To implement advanced power conversion
  modules and control systems appropriate to
  different types of Distributed Energy Resources
  (DER) on distribution networks.
• What are the benefits if it is solved?
• To improve efficiency, power quality and
  reliability, minimize losses and cost.

5
GOALS and POTENTIAL IMPACTS

• What needs to be achieved to solve the problem?
• On the basis of TU Sofia human potential and
  collaboration with leading European research
  centers to work for implementation of DER in
  Bulgaria in accordance with European politics.
• To integrate Bulgaria into new European energy
  space and to become leading research and
  innovative centre for implementation of DER in
  South-Eastern Europe.

6
ST STRATEGY

• How the goals can be achieved?
• Modelling, simulation and design of fully
  controllable AC-DC / DC-AC converters and active
  filters. Research in the area of efficiency,
  power factor correction and safety control
  oriented to DER and appropriate power conversion
  modules.
• Research in the area of power hybrid systems,
  modelling of DG networks. Upgrade of existing
  equipment in the inter-university centre in TU
  Sofia.

7
ST STRATEGY

• What work/approach is needed and chosen?
• Know-how transfer, scientific visits, research
  co-operation, scientific and business re-inforce
  and training (based on CLUSTER RESDG
  http//www.clusterintegration.org)
• Implementation of new technologies,
  communication, and real-time data acquisition and
  control services, oriented to power sources,
  clients and local energy management via power
  lines, Internet or HF channel (based on REMPLI
  project, http//www.rempli.org)

WORK PLAN

• Major tasks
• Review of the international state of the art by
  establishing new contacts with similar centres
  and leading companies in Europe.
• To develop and implement advanced power
  converters based on advanced power electronic
  components.
• To develop and validate advanced grid
  architecture enabling integration of DG sources
  with current passive networks to evaluate to
  active network.
• To develop new methods for remote energy
  management and operational control based on
  power-line, HF channel and Internet industrial
  and general-purpose communication.
• To upgrade the existing inter-university centre
  with fuel-cells and CHP and to develop
  demonstrations and training courses for hybrid
  systems.
• To work for synchronization of Bulgarian to
  European regulations standardization, testing
  and certification.

9
WORK PLAN

• Timing and Duration
• Overall duration 36 months. Every task of the
  work plan will long between 6 to 18 months. Every
  task finishes with work-package deliverable.

10
Why is needed ?

• To advance the novel concept for electricity in
  the Europe
• Transformation of the conventional electricity
  transmission and distribution grid as an
  interactive and unified power supply network
• Large share of distribution generation
• Advanced power electronics and communications
  technologies
