The purpose is to develop systems that can monitor the overall power system state and alert system operators and other protection systems about forthcomming critical situations in the power system.

The project develops a number of new concepts and intelligent approaches for a modern power system which includes renewable energy. storage units. distributed generation. plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. etc

To investigate the possibility of introducing flexible electricity demand and regulation power in Danish Industry consumers via a price- and control signal from the supplier of electricity. The aim is to develop a valuable solution for the industry consumers giving them various benefits and afterwards to test the system.

A more free competition in the Danish electricity market. easier access to information. and more transparency for consumers who choose to switch supplier. A desire for more standardized communication between players on the Danish electricity market

The project's objective is to study the effects of load management systems and online real time electricity pricing systems in modern distribution systems and to develop the models. operation and control strategies for such distribution systems and finally to establish the control approach for the systems in contingency situations. i.e. island operation.

Make consumption data available to consumers in a way that: helps them to understand their own consumption. their consumption pattern and energy consumption in general; motivates them to optimise their consumption; and enables them to achieve energy savings.Gives stronger communication with customers in order to achieve better and faster customer service and more services.

Batteries of electric vehicles are a potential storage for excess power supply. The project investigates the users of EVs' willingness to participate in intelligent charging and the consequences of actual driving patterns for the recharging infrastructure.

To develop and describe a concept for the necessary and sufficient management of the future power system in 2025. The concept description should be at a level that allows a subsequent breakdown in specific projects to an early-stage phased rollout.

Gain knowledge of whether it is technically possible and financially/environmentally advantageous for the customer and the electricity system to offer owners of electrical vehicles an intelligent charging facility comprising possible use of spot electricity agreements. and the choice of charging most cheaply or most greenly. Overall, this concerns creating the possibility of accumulation in the electricity system in order to optimally utilise renewable energy production.

Objectives: a) to address the problems related to balancing power in a system with a substantial part of fluctuating renewable power sources and b) to develop planning methods and operational strategies for the future European energy system incorporating the needs of balancing power using modeling concepts like Power Node combined with MPC.
