The IDE4L project will define, develop and demonstrate the entire system of distribution network automation, IT systems and applications for active network management. Active distribution networks will utilize distributed energy resources (DERs) for network management including both real time operation and long-term network planning viewpoints.

This project seeks to develop better tools for addressing the increasing need to move electricity across national borders. More interconnected electricity grids in both the Nordic region and Europe are seen as an important facilitator of more sustainable energy systems, and international cooperation is critical in achieving this vision

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 energy supply will need to evolve into a dynamic system to provide the smart energy infrastructure needed to support society in 2020 and beyond. Future Internet technologies will play a critical role in the development of Smart Energy infrastructures, enabling new functionality while reducing costs.In the FINSENY project, key actors from the ICT and energy sectors will team-up to identify the ICT requirements of Smart Energy Systems. This will lead to the definition of new solutions and standards, verified in a large scale pan-European Smart Energy trial.

The pilot aims to test a smart protection concept which should reduce the outage times and automation investment needs. The system consists of central unit in the primary substation which analyses the network status and faults

Develop a new building concept for urban residential construction aiming to minimize the energy consumption and enable customers to make intelligent choice for conserving energy.

The main general objectives of the research program can be listed as follows: create an innovation foundation for new solutions. products and services to enable the implementation of the Smart Grids vision; demonstrations of solutions in real environment. not limited to Finnish grids. are an essential part of the research; the relevance of the research is measured on global basis. i.e.

The main objectives of SEESGEN-ICT consist in producing a harmonized set of priorities to accelerate the introduction of ICT into the Smart Distributed Power Generation Grids, investigating requirements, barriers and proposing solutions. SEESGEN-ICT will produce policy recommendations, identify best practices and draw scenarios and roadmaps for the next generation of electric distribution network.

Mobile Power Connection –project aims to develop a service concept, which enables electricity consumers to secure the amount of used electricity power independent from the point of delivery. The goal of the project is to create intelligent metering system, which enables reliable remote electricity power metering, telecommunication and customer invoicing from mobile loading points. Project is mainly focusing to create overall solution for PHEV/EV slow charging with existing infrastructure and develop business model for the concept.

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.
