STRATEG PW – Research Opportunities for KLASTER+ project
Operational data from the WIM PW microgrid will support the development of energy management algorithms in KLASTER+ project.
On 3 November 2026, the Steering Committee of the Excellence Initiative – Research University (IDUB) programme at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) met in the University’s Senate Hall to review progress on the STRATEG PW I and II projects.

Presentation of the WIM PW Project
During the meeting, Prof. Tomasz Wejrzanowski, Vice-Dean for General Affairs and Research at WUT’s Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering (WIM), presented the results of the project “Pilot Installation for Energy Generation and Storage Based on Efficient and Durable Photovoltaic and Battery Technologies”.
The project aims to reduce the electricity drawn from the distribution grid by Warsaw University of Technology buildings through the use of renewable energy sources and energy storage technologies. It has involved both infrastructure development and research activities centred on a pilot installation at WIM.

Tadeusz Daszczyński, KLASTER+ Project Manager, also contributed to the construction phase as the investor’s supervision inspector for electrical works. He combines research and teaching at WUT’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering with professional engineering practice, holding unrestricted Polish building licence for electrical design and construction (licence no. LOD/2597/PWOE/15).
The project was presented by Prof. Tomasz Wejrzanowski, Gabriela Komorowska, MSc Eng., and Krzysztof Kalinowski, MSc Eng. (pictured above).
The presentation outlined several potential applications of the STRATEG PW installation, including energy flexibility services in cooperation with Stoen Operator, dynamic electricity tariffs, emergency power supply in islanded mode, and the use of operational data to develop predictive models.
It also highlighted how the results of STRATEG PW will contribute directly to KLASTER+:
Operational data collected from the STRATEG installation will be used in the “Energy Communities of the Future – KLASTER+” project to analyse actual microgrid operating conditions and develop advanced energy management algorithms.
The WIM PW microgrid is described in an article by Krzysztof Kalinowski and Gabriela Komorowska: article in Przegląd Elektrotechniczny (in Polish).
Using STRATEG Data in the KLASTER+ Project
The KLASTER+ team plans to use data on electricity generation and consumption, together with measurements of power, voltage and current. These data will support the development of simulation models in DIgSILENT PowerFactory and the analysis of real-world microgrid operating conditions. Another research direction is the use of field controllers as edge computers for energy monitoring and management.
In July 2026, members of the KLASTER+ team visited the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at WUT to learn about its photovoltaic installation, battery energy storage system and the potential to use its infrastructure and measurement data in future research. The STRATEG PW presentation outlined concrete opportunities to build on that earlier visit.
