January, 2012 to December, 2016
Prevailing Stage of Development: 
Demonstration
Brief description and/or other information regarding the project: 
To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective rapid and safe hydrogen-based energy storage/deliver solutions capable to timely and instantaneously accept and manage any RES fluctuation and variability the main objectives of the INGRID project are (i) To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective rapid and safe hydrogen-based energy storage/deliver solutions capable to timely and instantaneously accept and manage any RES fluctuation and variability (ii) to design and make available advanced ICT monitoring and control tools aimed at simulating, managing, monitoring, control ling power dispatching in compliance with the power request of the grid, allowing a correct balance between variable energy supply and demand and simulate.
