Urb.Energy project combines the approach of energy efficient refurbishment of residential buildings with integrated urban development concepts, the modernisation of the energy supply infrastructure, the revaluation of the residential environment and the identification of innovative financing instruments.

I3RES main goal is to develop a management tool for the distribution grid underpinned by:1) a monitoring system that integrates information from already installed systems (e.g. SCADA, EMS and smart meters); 2) energy production forecasting and network management algorithms that assist the distribution company in the management of massively distributed RES production and large scale RES production within the distribution network;3) data mining and artificial intelligence to analyse consumers' energy demand and production in the distribution grid.

e-GOTHAM aims to implement a new aggregated energy demand model by increasing management efficiency, raising energy consumption awareness and stimulating the development of a leading-edge market for energy-efficient technologies with new business models.Recognising the need, within the energy industry, to optimise the integration of distributed energy sources, storage components and new consumer energy needs, e-GOTHAM proposes a new open reference design and architecture and will develop a middleware with seamless connectivity to optimise and manage microgrids in the residential, services and

The project idea focuses on power quality, protection of equipment and safety requirements for people working with smart grid technology.

The development and prototypically implementation of new methods and tools is the major goal of the ICOEUR project. New technologies like Wide Area Monitoring. Control and Protection as well as advanced network controllers (FACTS) and HVDC systems will be considered. Envisioned ICOEUR goals can be achieved only in close cooperative work of experts. with extensive knowledge of EU and Russian power systems as well as manufacturers and network operators.
