Resume: The optimized connection between power system design, preoperational planning, and real-time monitoring and control is crucial for the effective stability management of future power systems. This applies to the HVDC/MTDC power system connecting renewable energies and the AC/DC hybrid power system. Real-time capable algorithms and tools play a significant role in enabling optimal operation of the hybrid AC/DC system, ensuring the avoidance of circular flows and supporting security analyses. Additionally, innovative ancillary services such as frequency control, mitigation of periodic frequency fluctuations, voltage regulation, and reactive power control are essential for stability management. Managing and controlling hybrid AC/DC systems and HVDC grids is a complex task that requires a collaborative effort among the main stakeholders, such as TSOs, DSOs, OEMs, Policymakers, and regulatory bodies and Energy producers and energy consumers.

The DAEDALOS project aims to address this complex task to facilitate the transition of the current power grid towards a novel approach where such AC/DC hybrid systems and MVDC/HVDC grids are foreseen to enable the growth of intermittent renewable energy sources. The DAEDALOS project is a 48-month project, divided in 7 WPs, that sets out to develop a comprehensive framework and specific advanced software tools to support planning, operation, and monitoring of AC/DC hybrid systems and MVDC/HVDC grids on a state-of-the-art SCADA system, addressing and going beyond both current and future issues of these systems (such as low-frequency oscillations detection and mitigation, RoCoF, short-circuit prevention, inertia estimation, etc.). DAEDALOS novel technologies will be developed and tested at TRL6-7:  two demonstrators, one in the campus facility of the University of Aachen and the other in the University of Catalunya facility, will be realized to demonstrate the performances and the overall readiness of the proposed solution.

Expected results:

R1 Advanced modal identification techniques for low-frequency oscillations

R2 Novel low-frequency oscillation damping controllers and tuning methods

R3 Innovative Short-circuit calculation in grids dominated by power electronics

and HVDC

R4 Ancillary services for low inertia grids and hybrid AC/DC grids

R5 Flexible interface for model exchange between grid operators and vendors

R6 A DSA decision support tool for grid operators for monitoring AC/DC hybrid systems with high accuracy

R7 A modular software platform enabling the DSA-based decision support tool (R6) to interact with vendor-dependent models (R5) for dynamic analysis

R8 Demo 1– A demonstrator for testing of functional and non-functional monitoring SCADA and supporting tools, fit for advanced AD/DC interaction scenarios

R9 Demo 2- A demonstrator for testing identification and mitigation of low-frequency oscillations in hybrid AC/DC grids.

R10 Standardization Gap analysis and recommendations for future standards

R11 Training materials for TSOs
