With the WCMS the scattered wind farms have been combined in a cluster and the control room of the relevant network operator controlled centrally. While the wind farm cluster management system. the frequency and the voltage of power in the electric grid stable holding and secure network operation. provides calculates the forecasting software wind power management system using artificial neural networks based on weather forecasts. the expected wind power.

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).

GAVE is the first project to analyze the effectiveness and the user acceptance of automated demand response in Austria. Private, public and commercial electricity customers in a municipality in Lower Austria are equipped with demand response technology and join a municipality-wide experiment. The project aims to show that effective demand response is possible without compromising the customer comfort.

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.

The project brings together eight European energy utilities and aims at removing most of the technical and non-technical barriers that prevent a massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) in Europe. In partnership with manufacturers. research organisations. professionals. national agencies and a bank. they implemented a demand-pull rather than technology-push approach. This new approach provided three tentative 'fast-tracks options' to speed up the large-scale implementation of DER in Europe.

In the Cuxhaven region, the project, eTelligence, is testing a complex control system to balance out fluctuating windpower that intelligently integrates electricity into the grids and a regional market. The core component of eTelligence is a regional electricity marketplace that brings together producers, con­sumers with shiftable loads, energy service providers and grid operators. As well as improving supply security from renewable energies, this also enhances economic efficiency.

E-mobility Italy enables the diffusion and the use of electric vehicles with state of the art recharging technologies, thanks to ad-hoc development of recharging infrastructure offering intelligent and secure services and respecting the environment.Smart® Electric vehicles will be provided to 140 customers and 400 recharging stations (300 public stations and 100 home stations) will be installed by Enel in Rome. Milan and Pisa.

The challenge is to create a more sustainable energy model in harbour regions on the basis of innovative intelligent energy networks (smart grids). e-harbours focuses 3 objectives:1) Increase the production and use of renewable energy in harbour cities. Harbour cities have extensive industrial areas with a great potential for development of sustainable energies; from wind, solar PV, tide, waves and the reuse of industrial waste, heat or cooling available. 2) Increase the use of energy smart grids.
