Electric power systems are facing a major new challeng: future massive integration in the electric grid of electric plug-in vehicles (EV). The project will address comprehensively the impact of electric plug-in vehicles (EV) presence regarding steady state operation. intermittent RES integration. system stability and dynamic behavior. system restoration. regulatory aspects and market arrangements.

The purpose of the iTESLA project is to develop a common toolbox, allowing the different TSOs to increase coordination and harmonize operating procedures.

INOVGRID aims at replacing the current LV meters with electronic devices called Energy Boxes (EB). using AMM (Automated Meter Management) standards. These EB are integrated in an automated third generation electrical grid (smart grid) in which network devices are placed (DTC) that will manage the EB through new TI/SI solutions by aggregating the gathered information and providing new services to consumers.

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 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.
