The IDE4L project will define, develop and demonstrate the entire system of distribution network automation, IT systems and applications for active network management. Active distribution networks will utilize distributed energy resources (DERs) for network management including both real time operation and long-term network planning viewpoints.

This project seeks to develop better tools for addressing the increasing need to move electricity across national borders. More interconnected electricity grids in both the Nordic region and Europe are seen as an important facilitator of more sustainable energy systems, and international cooperation is critical in achieving this vision

INERTIA addresses challenge :“Data management infrastructures to allow electricity production and consumption to be measured, reported and controlled (and eventually credited or billed)” and aims to deliver an efficient Distribution Grid overlay control/management infrastructure that will maximize the response capacity of the vast small commercial prosumer base (tertiary buildings, offices etc), presenting incentives and delivering benefits through their automated active participation in the energy market.

The project aims to increase accessibility by fostering the diffusion of e-mobility and stimulating the use of public and private electric car transport as well as freight across the North Sea Region (NSR).Specific project objectives are: To provide state of the art information which may help policy development in e-mobility in the NSR; To provide insight on gaps and needs in respect of infra-structure, logistics, and preliminary standards for multi charging techniques; To develop a NSR smart grid concept with charging points, hence increasing accessibility in the region; To provide a long-ter

As the patterns of power generation and distribution are rapidly changing in Europe towards a highly dispersed and volatile system, Distribution System Operators need to completely change traditional ways of grid operations. Currently developed solutions to increase the intelligence of medium and low voltage grids to cope with this task are often highly specialized, non-replicable and therefore not cost-effective.

The progressive penetration of conventional and renewable distributed generation is driving major changes in the whole power systems infrastructure justifying the introduction of more intelligence, in particular, in power distribution networks. The information infrastructure will play a central role as future power systems cannot be supported by centralized information infrastructures on which today's power systems rely.

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 pre-study for Stockholm Royal Seaport - an urban smart grid area, will deliver a concept description including market models and description of technical solutions ready for implementation and testing as a new project phase.

Hyllie - A test bed for developing solutions for a future transformed energy in the city of Malme. The project includes: a) Customer control of heat and electricity consumption b) Smart home and Smart building solutions c) Distributed generation – electricity and heat d) Smart grid solutions – DH and electricity e) Sustainable mobility solutions – gas and e-mobility f)CO2 and resource efficient energy supply g)Distributed energy storage

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.
