ELECTRA - EERA JP SG ISGAN-SIRFN Collaboration Is there any opportunity to strengthen the present collaboration? Is that possible and mutually beneficial? The answer from ELECTRA side is Yes, definitely Yes! here are some very good reasons 16

Why to collaborate? ELECTRA - EERA JP SG ISGAN - SIRFN Collaboration Similar goals and objectives Same people To leverage important synergies To address and fill in remaining gaps To advance faster To avoid multiple spending by promoting specialization To define worldwide testing best practices and guidelines ( standards) (possible outcomes from this workshop) How in practice? Sharing info, methodologies and infrastructures Defining joint experimental activities By researcher exchanges (possible outcomes from this workshop) 17

Research Infrastructures and Testing Facilities Laboratory facilities and Research infrastructures (RIs) are vital for smart grid technology and solutions development RIs are needed for testing prototypes and systems, for checking the interoperability of these new systems, for assessing their performance and integration in the whole system, and also for certificating their compliance with related standards. Apart from economic concerns, RIs require a great deal of specialization, given the complex/sophisticated technical tools and systems that have to be managed. RIs are to be used for evaluation of innovative solutions before or instead of being implemented on large-scale and costly DEMO 23
