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.

The project brings together eight European energy utilities and aims at removing most of the technical and non-technical barriers that prevent a massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) in Europe. In partnership with manufacturers. research organisations. professionals. national agencies and a bank. they implemented a demand-pull rather than technology-push approach. This new approach provided three tentative 'fast-tracks options' to speed up the large-scale implementation of DER in Europe.

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.

DER - IREC 22 @ MICROGRID is a research project focused to create products and services around Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and EV. The main goal is to build a platform where research could be done in order to integrate all those components into a new system of energy supply. This platform will integrate in a micro grid a set of existing DERs: conventional micro generation technologies (diesel or natural gas engines). emerging technologies (micro turbines and energy storage devices). and renewable technologies (small wind turbines or solar generators).

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.

Installation and testing of 1 MW electrochemical battery in a substation of the transmission grid

The project aims at delivering a comprehensive commercial and technical framework for the development of “Active Demand” in the smart grids of the future. ADDRESS investigates how to effectively activate participation of domestic and small commercial customers in power system markets and in the provision of services to the different power system participants.

Use the standard IEC61850 as a means to improve the design. maintenance and operation of the substation automation systems. Design a standard substation considering the existing and new solutions developed by the vendors collaborating in the project.Build and set-up in operation a IEC61850 HV substation.

3eHouses deals to build the customers into the energy system through ICTs, allowing them to develop or enhance their relationship with the environment by piloting in several social housing buildings the interaction between smart devices and the users. It is a project founded under CIP-ICT-PSP-2009.4.1: ICT for energy efficiency in social housing.

Design. construct. set up in operation and test a FACTS (SSSC) to prevent overload situations in the 220 kV transmission grid and reduce the measures that the System Operator has to make for solving overloads. like reduce the meshing of the network or curtail wind production.
