Insight into the workings of technology incentives and interaction in order to mobilize flexibility from customer’s electricity usage in the city of Breda (Easy Street & Meulenspie). participants will be provided with products and services to enable them to choose their preferred times to use electricity. Equipped with a special display and a smart washing machine, users will be able to choose whether they want to run their washing machine during times when their local sustainable electricity is produced by PV panels or at those when the cost of electricity is low on the wholesale market.

The purpose of the project is to reduce the large difference in demand during the day and night project and to make it possible to fit in 6.000 MWe wind energy in the Netherlands in the grid and continue reliable electricity supply

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 INTEGRAL project aims to build and demonstrate an industry-quality reference solution for DER aggregation-level control and coordination based on commonly available ICT components, standards and platforms. During the project, three field demonstrations have been developed, that demonstrated the practical validity of the Integrated Distributed Control solutions that have being developed. Each pilots was set up in a different country and each pilot targets a different aspect.

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.

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).

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.

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.
