The Project MeRegio aims to demonstrate that a shift from the present?day power supply system to “minimum emission regions” is possible by intelligently combining technical energy management and innovative ICT.

This project will demonstrate an optimisation of renewable energy supplies (RES). primarily wind energy sourced onshore and offshore. with an existing pumped storage power plant (PSPP). It will integrate smart meters with power demand and supply forecasting to enable consistency of power supply in a small European country (Lithuania). The lessons learnt from this demonstration project will be disseminate directly to the participants in this project and indirectly through them to major global Transmission System Operators (TSOs).

The research project aims to develop the institutional framework that guides efficient and effective network development towards smart grids

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.

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.

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 Harz.EE-mobility project aims to harness as much of this renewable energy as possible to enhance passenger mobility. By doing so. the project also aims to ensure the stability of energy networks. to boost economic performance. and to foster energy security and climate protection.

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.

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.
