This project proposes an advanced ICT and control framework for ancillary services (reserve capacity) which allows a more intelligent solution by giving consumers and producers clear, real-time financial incentives to adapt their consumption/production according to the actual needs of the power system. This demand-side management is being made possible by the large scale introduction of Smart meters. This design is based on a distributed control structure. enabled by a fast ICT infrastructure and advanced control theory to reliably and economically deal with the necessary ancillary services.

Energy@Home project aims to develop a system in which 'smart appliances' can manage themselves by adjusting power consumption depending on power supply and prices. or in order to avoid overloads within the house.In addition Energy@Home provides information to the user. such as power consumption of appliances. hourly cost of energy. green level of the energy being supplied; these information are made available on the user’s PC. mobile or on the display of the appliance.

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.

Today, there are largely no communications infrastructure deployments in European medium and low voltage power distribution networks. Powerline communications have a large potential to enable new and intelligent applications to and from the last branch of the distribution grid.

Dispower has developed new methodologies. components and tools for planning. operational control. training. forecast and trading for the reliable and costeffective integration of distributed generation and renewable energies.

BeyWatch will develop an energy-aware and user-centric solution. able to provide intelligent energy monitoring/control and power demand balancing at home/building & neighbourhood level.

BeAware studies how ubiquitous information can turn energy consumers into active players by developing: -An open and capillary infrastructure sensing wirelessly energy consumption at appliance level in the home; -Ambient and mobile interaction to integrate energy use profiles into users’ everyday life; -Value added service platforms and models where consumers can act on ubiquitous energy information and energy producers and other stakeholders gain new business opportunities.
