Fully automated and monitored LV and MV grid. Balanced distribution grid which can easily switch between island and normal operation mode.

Smart grid in the Czech Republic: Siemens to build a network control system for Prague’s power grid .Siemens Infrastructure & Cities signed an agreement with the Czech distribution network operator PREdistribuce to build a network control system for Prague’s power grid. In order to support all aspects of the operations of the Czech distribution network operator, Siemens will implement the latest software version of the Spectrum Power network control system over the next three years.

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.

GRID4EU is a Large-Scale Demonstration of Advanced Smart Grid Solutions with wide Replication and Scalability Potential for EUROPE. The project is led by six electricity Distribution System Operators (DSOs) from Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden, in close partnership with a set of major electricity retailers, manufacturers and research organizations. As a whole, the consortium gathers 27 partners.ERDF is the Coordinator of the project, while Enel Distribuzione is the Technical Director and Iberdrola Distribución the Chairman of the General Assembly.

The project aims to work with all the relevant stakeholders especially representatives of wind generation developers. The study will use results from detailed network and market models of the European transmission system for scenarios representing immediate and longer-term needs. The recommendations will be aimed at developing. where possible and appropriate. common European solutions to wind integration challenges.

The project brings together eight European energy utilities and aims at removing most of the technical and non-technical barriers that prevent a massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) in Europe. In partnership with manufacturers. research organisations. professionals. national agencies and a bank. they implemented a demand-pull rather than technology-push approach. This new approach provided three tentative 'fast-tracks options' to speed up the large-scale implementation of DER in Europe.
