PEGASE is a four year project dealing with the High and Extra High Voltage transmission and sub-transmission networks in Europe (designated as ETN) and implemented by a Consortium composed of 20 Partners including TSOs. expert companies and leading research centre’s in power system analysis and applied mathematics. Its overall objectives are to define the most appropriate state estimation, optimization and simulation frameworks. Their performance and dataflow requirements to achieve an integrated security analysis and control of the ETN.

The project aims at developing a numerical test platform to analyse and to validate new market designs which may allow integrating massive flexible generation dispersed in several regional power markets

The main objective of the OPEN meter project is to specify a comprehensive set of open and public standards for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) supporting multi commodities (Electricity, Gas, Water and Heat), based on the agreement of the most relevant stakeholders in the area.

The project aims at integrating all smart technologies on the distribution grid of a given city and at defining new network design rules and management principles definition.

Meter-ON is a coordination and support action to steer the implementation of smart metering solutions throughout Europe.

MetaPV is the first project world-wide that will demonstrate the provision of electrical benefits from photovoltaics (PV) on a large scale. Additional benefits for active grid support from PV will be demonstrated at two sites: a residential area of 128 households with 4 kWp each, and an industrial zone of 31 PV systems with 200 kWp each. The enhanced control capacities to be implemented into PV inverters and demonstrated are active voltage control, fault ride-through capability, autonomous grid operation, and interaction of distribution system control with PV systems.

Electric power systems are facing a major new challeng: future massive integration in the electric grid of electric plug-in vehicles (EV). The project will address comprehensively the impact of electric plug-in vehicles (EV) presence regarding steady state operation. intermittent RES integration. system stability and dynamic behavior. system restoration. regulatory aspects and market arrangements.

Research and pilot innovation project on active demand side management in residential areas

The purpose of the iTESLA project is to develop a common toolbox, allowing the different TSOs to increase coordination and harmonize operating procedures.

The objective of Internet of Energy (IoE) is to develop hardware. software and middleware for seamless. secure connectivity and interoperability achieved by connecting the Internet with the energy grids.The project will evaluate and develop the needed ICT for the efficient implementation in future smart grid structures. RWE will consider -as a WP leader- several business models from the perspective of a grid operator.
