The challenge is to create a more sustainable energy model in harbour regions on the basis of innovative intelligent energy networks (smart grids). e-harbours focuses 3 objectives:1) Increase the production and use of renewable energy in harbour cities. Harbour cities have extensive industrial areas with a great potential for development of sustainable energies; from wind, solar PV, tide, waves and the reuse of industrial waste, heat or cooling available. 2) Increase the use of energy smart grids.

The company is undergoing an extensive change process going from partly manual to fully automated processes for energy consumption measurement on hourly basis and invoicing based on this. The project concerns the launching of hourly measuring and new hourly based tariffs.

The CRISP project aims to investigate, develop and test how latest advanced intelligence by ICT technologies can be exploited in a novel way for cost-effective, fine-grained and reliable monitoring, management and control of power networks that have a high degree of Distributed Generation and RES penetration.

The project built and tested approximately 50 charging points, all of them equipped with smart meters enabling sub-metering at user specific level and remote on-off functionality. A one-stop-shop charging offer was tested on the market and further developed within the project. An internal development plan for charging of electrical vehicles was produced.

BeAware studies how ubiquitous information can turn energy consumers into active players by developing: -An open and capillary infrastructure sensing wirelessly energy consumption at appliance level in the home; -Ambient and mobile interaction to integrate energy use profiles into users’ everyday life; -Value added service platforms and models where consumers can act on ubiquitous energy information and energy producers and other stakeholders gain new business opportunities.

The overall aim of the ADINE-project is to develop. demonstrate and validate a new Active Network Management (ANM) method of distribution network including DG.

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.
