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 goal of EPIC-HUB is to develop new methodology, architecture and services able to provide improved Energy Performances to Neighbourhoods (NBH), combining Energy-Hub-based Energy Optimization capabilities with a Seamless Integration of pre-existing energy ICT systems and other ICT system deployed.EPIC-HUB focuses on efficient Management, Control and Decision-Support Energy Policies at neighbourhood-level, defining an interoperable Middleware solution and a structured vision for the communities to use and share renewable energy sources, energy storage, and micro-generation, to consistently r

In the iGREENGrid project, six world-class DRES integration Demo Projects in low and medium voltage grids led by some of the most relevant EEGI members DSOs are being developed in European Union. Based on sharing the outputs of these experiences and evaluating their results using KPIs according to technical and economic criteria (regarding EEGI guidelines), a set of recommendations identifying most promising solutions for an appropriate integration of small and medium size variable renewable resources in distribution grids (both in medium and low-voltage networks) will be produced.

As part of the ICT PSP programme of the European Commission Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the eSESH project aimed to design, develop and pilot new solutions to enable sustained reductions in energy consumption across European social housing.

SmartHG will develope economically viable Intelligent Automation Software services gathering real-time data about energy usage from residential homes and exploiting such data for intelligent automation pursuing two main goals: minimise energy usage and cost for each home, support the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) in optimising operation of the grid.

Energy@home is a non-profit Association founded on July 2012 by Electrolux, Enel, Indesit Company and Telecom Italia as a follow-up of a collaboration project among the four companies started in 2009. The Association counts today 18 member companies.Its mission is the development and promotion of technologies and services for energy efficiency in smart homes, based upon the interaction between user devices and the energy infrastructure.

Wind on the Grid is a project focused on preparation of the European electricity network for the large-scale integration of wind farms through the design. development and validation of new tools and devices for its planning. control and operation in a competitive market.

TWENTIES Project aims to demonstrate through real-life. large-scale demonstrations. the benefits and impact of several critical types of technology required to improve the European transmission network. thus giving Europe the ability to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix by 2020 and beyond. while keeping its present reliability

The overall impact from SUSPLAN is contribution to a substantially increased share of renewable energy sources (RES) in Europe at an acceptable level of cost. thereby increasing security of supply and competitiveness of RES industry. The main objective is to develop guidelines for more efficient integration of RES into future infrastructures as a support for decision makers at regional as well as Pan-European level. The guidelines shall consist of strategies. recommendations. criteria and benchmarks for political.

The project aims at developing a dedicated application for LV network management and business purposes which leverages the existing metering infrastructure. STAmi provides network operators with a dedicated web interface to collect on demand and real-time, specific high quality and accurate data stored in smart meters without additional load for the AMM system. Both the operators in the control room, in the back office and on field work operators (via tablet PC) are provided with a dedicated suite of functionalities and tools based on web interfaces.
