The Night Wind project proposes to design grid architectures for Wind Power Production combined with Energy Storage means of load management of Refrigerated Warehouses (Cold Stores). Refrigerated Warehouses are constant power users. day and night.

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.

Meter-ON is a coordination and support action to steer the implementation of smart metering solutions throughout Europe.

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.

This project will demonstrate an optimisation of renewable energy supplies (RES). primarily wind energy sourced onshore and offshore. with an existing pumped storage power plant (PSPP). It will integrate smart meters with power demand and supply forecasting to enable consistency of power supply in a small European country (Lithuania). The lessons learnt from this demonstration project will be disseminate directly to the participants in this project and indirectly through them to major global Transmission System Operators (TSOs).

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

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.

INTEGRIS project proposes the development of a novel and flexible ICT infrastructure based on a hybrid Power Line Communication-wireless integrated communications system able to completely and efficiently fulfill the communications requirements foreseen for the Smart Electricity Networks of the future.

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.

To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective rapid and safe hydrogen-based energy storage/deliver solutions capable to timely and instantaneously accept and manage any RES fluctuation and variability the main objectives of the INGRID project are (i) To effectively integrate larger yet decentralized, fluctuating renewable energy sources (within the 30-50% penetration level) without compromising grid reliability and security, based on effective r
