Improved and eNhanced Stakeholders Participation In Reinforcement of Electricity Grid (INSPIRE-Grid)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
The basic assumption of the project is that the difficult public acceptance of Electric Power System (EPS) infrastructures are due to several reasons: i) the lack of trustworthiness in the relationship between Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and the stakeholders and general public; ii) the difficulty in comparing the new EPS infrastructures benefits, which are on a global, with the impacts , ...

Ultra Conductive Copper-Carbon Nanotube Wire (UltraWire)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The most common traditional materials used in electrical energy distribution systems are copper and copper alloys. Modern applications show an increasing demand for better heat and electric current carrying capacity at the level beyond copper base materials. Nanocarbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have attracted attention due to their high electrical, thermal conductivity and e ...

Innovative Tools for Electrical System Security within Large Areas (iTESLA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
6 Transmission System Operators (Belgium, France, Greece, Norway, Portugal and United Kingdom) and CORESO, a TSO coordination centre, together with 13 RTD performers propose a 4 year R&D project to develop and to validate an open interoperable toolbox which will bring support, by 2015, to future operations of the pan-European electricity transmission network, thus favouring increased coordination/ ...

Socio-Economics meets Security (SECONOMICS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
"SECONOMICS goal is synthesizing sociological, economic and security science into a usable, concrete, actionable knowledge for policy makers and social planners responsible for citizen's security. The project is driven by industry case studies and will specifically identify security threats in transport (air and urban and super urban metro) and critical infrastructure. The research focus places s ...

Using real-time measurements for monitoring and management of power transmission dynamics for the Smart Grid (REAL-SMART)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Power transmission in Europe is entering a period of significant renewal and technological change because the electrical transmission grids face increases in new and variable energy sources, especially from large scale wind power generators. They therefore face future challenges of operation and control. Changes happening in the process industries will also have an impact on electrical supply beca ...
