INSTINCT

The objective of the project is therefore Optimal design of robust, secure, interoperable and scalable ICT solutions that enable active distribution networks and facilitate new models for customer involvement. Development of the program has the following objectives: Efficient methods for design of robust and interoperable ICT systems Development of new business models involving partners from several industries. Cost - Efficient communication systems for integration of partners across industrial boundaries Information models for semantic interoperability across power system domains (production, distribution, end-use) New communication models for high-speed communication among several peers over lossy media. Methods for assessment of reliability and robustness of ICT infrastructures Establishment of experimental platforms and research arenas for cross-disciplinary work involving power, ICT and markets.
