To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective rapid and safe hydrogen-based energy storage/deliver solutions capable to timely and instantaneously accept and manage any RES fluctuation and variability the main objectives of the INGRID project are (i) To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective r

The aim of this research project is to develop a new generation of distribution network management systems that exploits novel near to real-time HPC solutions with inherent security and intelligent communications for smart distribution network operation and management. Cost effective scalable HPC solutions will be developed and initially demonstrated for realistic distribution network data traffic and management scenarios via off-line field trials involving several distribution network owners and operators.

The GROW-DERS project (Grid Reliability and Operability with Distributed Generation using Flexible Storage) investigates the implementation of (transportable) distributed storage systems in the networks.

The aim of this project is to help people to handle their own load curve. With home installation of a smartmeter, provide and support by the WIT inc., the Web platform empowered by Gridpocket use both an energetical analyse lead by energeticians from Mines ParisTech and a behavioral overview by sociologist from Telecom ParisTech to provide a scope of consumption with two points, a starting one : the actual consumption and a target : the lowest consumption reachable. The meter send data from the household’s flat : energy, power and inside temperature with wireless network at a regular pace.

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.

GreenLys is a systemic smart grid project which includes: - DER - Consumption - Networks (DSO & TSO) Main Goals: - decrease of greenhouse gases - control of energy bill - introduction and control of DER on LV networks - behavour of consumers, with incentive and innovative new offers - agregator functions Innovations: - Smart management of grid (seal-healing, smart metering using Linky infrastructure,...) - Demand Side Management, Demande/Reponse, energy saving and new offers (using boxes linked to Linky Insfrastrucure, tariffs, dynamic prices policy...) - Investsments, Impact on studies an

Green eMotion will connect ongoing regional and national electromobility initiatives leveraging on the results and comparing the different technology approaches to ensure the best solutions prevail for the European market. A virtual marketplace will be created to enable the different actors to interact and to allow for new highvalue transportation services as well as EV-user convenience in billing (EU Clearing House).

The project of the G4V consortium will generate fast and openly available results : an analytical framework to evaluate the impact of a large scale introduction on the grid infrastructure and a visionary “road map” for the year 2020 and beyond.

The objective of FENIX is to boost DER (Distributed Energy Resources) by maximizing their contribution to the electric power system. through aggregation into Large Scale Virtual Power Plants (LSVPP) and decentralized management. The project is organized in three phases: § Analysis of the DER contribution to the electrical system. assessed in two future scenarios (Northern and Southern) with realistic DER penetration; § Development of a layered communication and control solution validated for a comprehensive set of network use cases . including normal and abnormal operation.

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.
