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.

Develop a dedicated innovative toolbox to support the grid security approach of transmission system operators (TSOs).

The project Web2Energy is directed to implement and approve all three pillars of 'Smart Distribution'. Smart Metering – the consumer participates in the energy market Smart Energy Management – Clustering of small power producers . Smart Distribution Automation – higher reliability of supply.

The main objective of the Smart Grid pilot project in the Hel Peninsula is to check its basic elements and to develop an implementation concept for similar projects across ENERGA-OPERATOR SA. It has been assumed that the scope of the project should include medium and low voltage grids. Subject to checking – by way of practical implementation – are project elements such as: ? central part - IT system integrated with SCADA at the Regional Power Dispatch level, ? telecommunication infrastructure, ? automation, control, and measuring equipment in MV and LV grids, ?

The goal of the project is to prepare cost benefit analysis of smart metering implementation in Poland and to develop the legal and organizational framework to implement metering data processing and central repository concept.

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 main objectives of SEESGEN-ICT consist in producing a harmonized set of priorities to accelerate the introduction of ICT into the Smart Distributed Power Generation Grids, investigating requirements, barriers and proposing solutions. SEESGEN-ICT will produce policy recommendations, identify best practices and draw scenarios and roadmaps for the next generation of electric distribution network.

The aims of this Test Facility is to: • Test centralized and decentralized control strategies in grid interconnected mode; • Test communication protocols and components including aspects related to energy trading; • A control and monitoring system built around IEC 61850 standard designed and prototyped; • Control strategies resulting from agent software to make use of these control and monitoring functions; • Development of intelligent modules embedding the required functions to allow a full integration of each generating/load unit into the system.

The main goal of the pilot project is to gain practical experience of the functioning of emergency DSR programs in Smart Grid/smart Meters environment. This experience will be used to develop the target DSR programs

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.
