Monitoring for stable power grids: Data collection for the development of innovative methods for grid monitoring presented at ERIGrid 2.0 closing event
10 April, 2025
At the final ERIGrid 2.0 event in Vienna, David Fellner from the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien presented past and future activities for the development of the latest approaches to data-based detection of malfunctions in power grids. The focus was on data for data-driven methods for monitoring and validating grid-connected devices.
At the official closing event of the European research project ERIGrid 2.0, David Fellner, head of the Bachelor’s program in Renewable Energies at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, presented the results of the data collection phase of the project “Data Driven Detection of Malfunctioning Devices in Power Distribution Systems”.
The aim of the project was to enable the automated detection of malfunctions in grid-connected devices, such as inverters or battery storage units, by means of intelligent data analysis. Machine learning methods such as classification and load disaggregation are used. The research work uses both simulated and real measurement data from laboratory environments to create a robust validation basis.
“With our approach, we are creating an important basis for centralized monitoring of future power grids,” explained Fellner. The use of these technologies should enable more reliable grid management as decentralization increases.
ERIGrid 2.0 as a platform for innovation
The event brought together experts from across Europe at the Arcotel Kaiserwasser in Vienna to present key findings from four years of ERIGrid 2.0. Fellner’s contribution was part of the user workshop, in which various Lab Access projects that benefited from the European research infrastructure were presented. His project particularly stood out due to its practical application focus, which offers new perspectives for both grid operators and grid component developers.
The combination of theoretical methodology and practical validation underlines the importance of integrative research in the energy transition. The UAS Technikum Wien is thus making an important contribution to the development of smart, resilient energy systems.
