The aim of the GreenCom project is to utilise the flexibility and intelligence in the low-voltage demand and local supply side infrastructure to create increased regulation capacity and reserve power in the centralised power grid by extending the means to effectively and securely manage and control the demand and supply within defined boundaries. The project thus aims to balance the local exchange of energy at the community microgrid level, to avoid affecting the centralized grid with instability.

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

VERYSchool will develop customised energy savings strategies and ICT solutions for EU schools. It will do this through the integration of Smart LED Lighting, Smart Meters, Building Energy Management Systems, Energy Simulation Software, and Energy Action Management Software. Each of these technologies are brought to the project from consortium partners with companies dedicated specifically to each hardware or software.

SUNSHINE delivers innovative digital services, interoperable with existing geographic web-service infrastructures, supporting improved energy efficiency at the urban and building level. Specifically, SUNSHINE delivers a smart service platform accessible from both a web-based client and from an App for smartphones and tablets. In particular, the SUNSHINE platform will allow: 1) Automatic large-scale assessment of building energy behaviour based on data available from public services (e.g. cadastre, planning data etc.).

A smart ICT concept will be implemented in existing public buildings in Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Greece in order to reach energy savings in annual and peak consumption up to 35% and to provide social-economic benefits to building users, to building managers, to public authorities and to distributor network operators. The ICT concept proposed with this action will be based on the off-the-shelf “Far Echo” ICT system, developed by the partner FAR Systems for the targeted countries Italy, Slovenia and Greece.

The EDISON (Energy Distribution Infrastructure for Ssl Operative Networks) Pilot Actions aim to demonstrate, under real operational conditions, that a smart lighting system improves energy efficiency, reduces CO2 emissions and encourages the use of small-scale renewable energy sources in European public buildings (e. g. schools, museums, administrative offices, hospitals, etc.).

E3SoHo proposed service offers a holistic solution for ICT-enabled energy efficient social housing developments all across Europe.

SDG is a prototype of a solution of Smart Grid Demand-Response: it aims to experimentm the interaction between network and home users or small business through a system for the 'Negotiated management' between distributor and residential customers that involves smart appliances governed by an EMS - Energy Management System - capable to control load profiles, storage systems, distributed generation (photovoltaic), substations MV/LV.

The 'Smart Polygeneration Microgrid' (SPM) is a LV demonstrator infrastructure hosted at Savona Campus facilities, within the big project 'Energia 2010' lead by the University of Genova.It consist of renewable and innovative generation/cogeneration units (micro turbine fed with natural gas/syngas, photovoltaic plant, solar concentration thermodynamic plant with Stirling motor, energy storage, EV charging stations), a dedicated electric network, to be integrated with the existing grid of the University Campus and special connections and systems to store and vectorise the hea

The aim of the Odysseus project is to develop an Open Dynamic System (ODYS) enabling the ‘holistic energy management’ of the dynamics of energy supply, demand and storage in urban areas, on top of an open integration platform supporting the pilot scenario’s for designated urban areas exemplified in the cities of Rome and Manchester. While in Manchester project results will be validated on a simulated energy efficiency environment, in Rome it is in the early stages of dealing with energy efficiency in public building.
