Ensiel National Energy Transition Real Time Lab: a Novel Tool to Shape the Future Energy System

The energy transition represents the actual challenge in the next future, and requires new scientific tools of analysis in order to quickly and effectively deploy the most suitable technological solutions. This is required both to reduce as much as possible the long test phases on the field and to make investments more effective. This paper presents the Ensiel National Energy Transition Real Time Lab (ENET-RT Lab), which was launched in April 2022. The geographical distributed co-simulation real time laboratory is composed of five partners, and aims to become one of the main platforms to test novel solutions and technologies that can effectively support the energy transition in Italy.
