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.

The goal of EPIC-HUB is to develop new methodology, architecture and services able to provide improved Energy Performances to Neighbourhoods (NBH), combining Energy-Hub-based Energy Optimization capabilities with a Seamless Integration of pre-existing energy ICT systems and other ICT system deployed.EPIC-HUB focuses on efficient Management, Control and Decision-Support Energy Policies at neighbourhood-level, defining an interoperable Middleware solution and a structured vision for the communities to use and share renewable energy sources, energy storage, and micro-generation, to consistently r

In the iGREENGrid project, six world-class DRES integration Demo Projects in low and medium voltage grids led by some of the most relevant EEGI members DSOs are being developed in European Union. Based on sharing the outputs of these experiences and evaluating their results using KPIs according to technical and economic criteria (regarding EEGI guidelines), a set of recommendations identifying most promising solutions for an appropriate integration of small and medium size variable renewable resources in distribution grids (both in medium and low-voltage networks) will be produced.

As part of the ICT PSP programme of the European Commission Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the eSESH project aimed to design, develop and pilot new solutions to enable sustained reductions in energy consumption across European social housing.

SmartHG will develope economically viable Intelligent Automation Software services gathering real-time data about energy usage from residential homes and exploiting such data for intelligent automation pursuing two main goals: minimise energy usage and cost for each home, support the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) in optimising operation of the grid.

The SuSTAINABLE project will develop and demonstrate a new operation paradigm, leveraging information from smart meters and short-term localized predictions to manage distribution systems in a more efficient and cost-effective way, enabling a large-scale deployment of variable distributed resources.

Wind on the Grid is a project focused on preparation of the European electricity network for the large-scale integration of wind farms through the design. development and validation of new tools and devices for its planning. control and operation in a competitive market.

ELECTRICA is implementing The Virtual Synchronous Generator (GSV). ELECTRICA, together with the Polytechnic University from Bucharest and another eight research and education institutions from Western Europe, are part of a project to implement the virtual synchronous machines stabilizing the frequency in the distribution networks where there is a high degree of decentralized power generation (VSYNC project). The VSYNC was installed at Cheia in Prahova county (Romania) within the Power Distribution Branch “Electrica Distribution North Muntenia”.

TWENTIES Project aims to demonstrate through real-life. large-scale demonstrations. the benefits and impact of several critical types of technology required to improve the European transmission network. thus giving Europe the ability to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix by 2020 and beyond. while keeping its present reliability

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.
