European Research Infrastructure supporting Smart Grid Systems Technology Development, Validation and Roll Out (ERIGrid)
Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2020,
Renewable energy sources are key enablers to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and to cope with the anthropogenic global warming. The intermittent behaviour of them and their limited storage capabilities present new challenges to power system operators in maintaining power quality and reliability. However, the increased availability of advanced automation and communication technologies has also pr ...

New Cost Efficient Business Models for Flexible Smart Grids (NOBEL GRID)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2018,
NOBEL GRID will develop, deploy and evaluate advanced tools and ICT services for energy DSOs cooperatives and medium-size retailers, enabling active consumers involvement –i.e. new demand response schemas – and flexibility of the market – i.e. new business models for aggregators and ESCOs.Through the dual-use of telecommunication networks, and validating the integration of renewable generation pre ...

High Performance Capture - HiPerCap (HiPerCap)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
This proposal aims to develop high-potential novel and environmentally benign technologies and processes for post-combustion CO2 capture leading to real breakthroughs. The proposal includes all main separation technologies for post-combustion CO2 capture; absorption, adsorption and membranes. Enzyme based systems, bio-mimicking systems and other novel forms of CO2 binding will be explored. For eac ...

High capacity sorbents and optimization of existing pollution control technologies for mercury capture in industrial combustion systems (MERCURYCAP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
This proposal addresses the global problem of mercury (Hg) emissions from coal-fired plants and the current position of conventional air pollution control devices (APCDs) only providing partial solution for oxidized Hg capture, particularly for low-rank coals.Our previous work has shown that (1) low-cost gasification chars have superior mercury capture performance than current benchmark carbons; a ...

Joint Air Quality Initiative (Joaquin)
Start date: Apr 30, 2010, End date: Sep 29, 2015,
...by AP cost the EU €50 billion per year and reduce life expectancy by an average of 6 months. Contrary to popular believe. air pollution is increasing. Factors such as rising industrial activity. energy production and increased traffic have all contributed to increased AP. Furthermore. air pollution is highest in areas where urban development is concentrated. A major part of the NWE-region is co ...

Integrated ICT-platform based Distributed Control (IIDC) in electricity grids with a large share of distributed energy resources and renewable energy sources (INTEGRAL)
Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Oct 31, 2010,
With large shares of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Renewable Energy Sources (RES) that can be expected in the 2010 time frame as a consequence of reaching EU policy targets, at least in certain parts of Electric Power Systems of the EU and its Member States challenges with regard to controllability and optimal integration will have to be met. The INTEGRAL project aims to build and demonst ...

Virtual synchronous machines for frequency stabilisation in future grids with a significant share of decentralized generation (VSYNC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
PROBLEM DEFINITION In electricity grids the frequency of the voltage is stabilized by a combination of the rotational inertia (rotating mass) of synchronous power generators in the grid and a control algorithm acting on the rotational speed of a number of major synchronous power generators. When in future small non-synchronous generation units replace a significant part of the synchronous power ge ...
