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.

Assist in the design and planning of national networks in the future. in order to accommodate large-scale renewable generation and changes in customer utilisation.

An integrated. large-scale trial of the end-to-end electricity supply chain.Cumulative CO2 savings of 0.6 billion tonnes between 2011 and 2050. In financial terms.the carbon benefits from a national rollout would give an NPV of £29 billion to 2050.£12 billion NPV of financial benefits for customers up to 2050.

The low Carbon Hub will demonstrate how substantial levels of renewable generation can be connected to a primary distribution network.

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.

The remote reading project in addition to consumption data also makes it possible to retrieve information on consumption patterns. loads. voltage variations. These are all related initiatives to achieve smart grid solutions on the low-voltage grid

The development and prototypically implementation of new methods and tools is the major goal of the ICOEUR project. New technologies like Wide Area Monitoring. Control and Protection as well as advanced network controllers (FACTS) and HVDC systems will be considered. Envisioned ICOEUR goals can be achieved only in close cooperative work of experts. with extensive knowledge of EU and Russian power systems as well as manufacturers and network operators.

The objective of this proposal is to prove the concept of a novel Active Network Management (ANM) approach as applied to a rural 11kV network area which contains several embedded generators (typically small hydro, with some wind). The intention is to develop an operational generation constraint scheme capable of facilitating the connection and management of additional Distributed Generation (DG) onto the SPEN network.
