DERri Network grants Free Access to Research Infrastructure for Scientists
(firmenpresse) - Milan, 11 April 2012. The Distributed Energy Resources Research
Infrastructure (DERri) is calling scientists from industry and research
organisations to apply for the free access to the laboratories. The selected
user teams will have the chance to access and use the research facilities,
including all laboratory installations within the DERri Network, for
experiments free of charge. All expenses, including travel and
accommodation are reimbursable, under the conditions agreed with the
hosting institutions. The next application deadline is 30 June 2012.
DERri is a collaborative research project under the 7th Framework
Programme (FP7) of the European Commission, gathering 16 partners from
12 countries distributed all over Europe. The project partners have unique
and complementary DER research infrastructures and leading DER expertise.
Since 2010 more than 20 research projects have already been conducted in
earlier instalments of this research programme.
Eligible Applicants
For researchers to apply for a free access there are three conditions. The
applying researchers have to work for organisations that are established in
countries of the European Union or associated European states like
Switzerland, Turkey or Israel. Secondly, the research team, or its majority,
must work in countries other than where the operator of the infrastructure is
established. Lastly, researchers must have the permission to publicly report
about their project. The starting time and length of the projects are flexible.
The research programme continuously supports DER research. The next
dates for this year are 30 June and 30 November. Applications will be
accepted as long as the laboratories have capacity available.
All necessary application documents, descriptions of available research
infrastructure and research projects already supported can be found at
www.der-ri.net.
Various testing installations available
DERri network partners consist of research facilities throughout Europe that
provide researchers with different kinds of testing facilities, simulations
facilities as well as DER know-how and best practices. The facilities provide
research opportunities in the fields of smart grids, renewable energy sources,
storage, power quality, grid security, control and protection of the networks,
communication, system aspects, architectural questions and domotics.
