VIMSEN: Virtual Microgrids for Smart Energy Networks (VIMSEN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The subsidy feed in tariff policy, which has recently been adopted for accelerating renewable energy investments, cannot be retained as a sustainable business model for the future smart energy grid. This is mainly because this policy increases the energy cost, especially when the amount of the energy generated by renewable sources is not negligible compared to that generated by traditional ones, a ...

Integrating Active, Flexible and Responsive Tertiary Prosumers into a Smart Distribution Grid (INERTIA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

INERTIA will introduce the Internet of Things/Services principles to the Distribution Grid Control and DSM Operations. It will provide an overlay network for coordination and active grid control, running on top of the existing grid and consisting of distributed and autonomous intelligent Commercial Prosumer Hubs. This way, it will address the present "structural inertia" of DG by introducing more ...

Specification, Implementation, Field Trial, and Standardisation of the Vehicle-2-Grid Interface (PowerUp)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

PowerUp aims to develop the Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) interface, involving a full development cycle of physical/link-layer specification, charging control protocol design, prototyping, conformance testing, field trials, and standardisation. Its results will ensure that FEVs smoothly integrate into emerging smart-grid networks. Thereby the efficiencies resulting from robust grid operation may be achieve ...

South-East European TSO Challenges (SEETSOC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The proposed project addresses the needs of South-East European TSOs in their effort towards harmonization and integration of the region with the rest of the European power network. Diagnostics, modeling and monitoring generate huge amounts of data that create the need for efficient storage and analysis of the collected information for better decision making and execution; under this respect the u ...

Multi-scale data assimilation, advanced wind modeling and forecasting with emphasis to extreme weather situations for a secure large-scale wind power integration (SafeWind)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

The integration of wind generation into power systems is affected by uncertainties in the forecasting of expected power output. Misestimating of meteorological conditions or large forecasting errors (phase errors, near cut-off speeds etc), are very costly for infrastructures (i.e. unexpected loads on turbines) and reduce the value of wind energy for end-users. The state of the art in wind power fo ...

Smart Houses Interacting with Smart Grids to achieve next-generation energy efficiency and sustainability (SmartHouse/SmartGrid)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Current smart house/energy technologies treat home and working environments as effectively consisting of isolated and passive individual units. This severely limits achieved energy efficiency, as it ignores the potential delivered by homes, offices, and commercial buildings seen as intelligent networked collaborations. Thus, the SmartHouse/SmartGrid project introduces a holistic concept for smart ...

Supporting Energy Efficiency in Smart Generation Grids through ICT (SEESGEN-ICT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

Designing ICT for managing the smart grids with integrated microgrids is a challenge that cannot be won by a single utility, industry or country. It requires collaboration of all Stakeholders, in an interdisciplinary approach that brings together experiences from the different countries with their different situations and from different viewpoints, in order to contribute to a scalable system that ...
