Wide scale demonstration of Integrated Solutions and business models for European smartGRID (WiseGRID)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2020,

WiseGRID has two intertwined and equally important strategic goals: on the one hand, it aims at successfully putting in the market, within a horizon of 24 months after project completion, a set of solutions and technologies which increase the smartness, stability and security of an open, consumer-centric European energy grid, with an enhanced use of storage technologies and a highly increased shar ...

Storage capacity sharing over virtual neighbourhoods of energy ecosystems (SHAR-Q)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

Storages are unavoidable components of the future smart grid with large share of variable renewable generation. However, the unit-cost of energy, that is retrieved from storages, is several times higher than the cost of energy consumed upon its output from RES. Therefore, there is a strong requirement on the optimisation of storage capacities deployed in the grid. This is especially true for the s ...

SMART RENEWABLE HUBS FOR FLEXIBLE GENERATION: SOLAR GRID STABILITY (GRIDSOL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

Fight against climate change has its main battlefield at the energy sector. Electricity and transport are the largest contributors to GHG emissions; the trend in transport toward electric vehicle will increase pressure on the electricity system and fundamentally change its dynamics. With producers focused on their legitimate business targets, and consumers focused on security of supply and low pri ...

Technology Innovation for the Local Scale, Optimum Integration of Battery Energy Storage (TILOS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

TILOS aims to demonstrate the optimal integration of local scale energy storage in a fully-operated, smart island microgrid that will also communicate with a main electricity grid. The main objective of the project will be the development and operation of a prototype battery storage system, based on NaNiCl2 batteries, provided with an optimum, real-environment smart grid control system and coping ...

Smarter Grid: Empowering SG Market Actors through Information and Communication Technologies (SmarterEMC2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Power systems undergo massive technological changes due to the ever increasing concerns for environmental and energy sustainability. The increase of RES and DG penetration is one of the main goals in Europe in order to meet the environmental targets. However these goals will require new business cases and must be based on innovative ICT tools and communication infrastructure. On parallel, followin ...

Smart and Sustainable Insular Electricity Grids Under Large-Scale Renewable Integration (SINGULAR)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

A large share of the recent renewable energy sources (RES) installed capacity has already taken place in insular electricity grids, since these regions are preferable due to their high RES potential. However, the increasing share of RES in the generation mix of insular power systems presents a big challenge in the efficient management of the insular distribution networks, mainly due to the limited ...
