We, as European Commission’s in-house science service, perform independent research and support EU policy-making
on transformations towards smarter and interoperable electricity systems.

We study the power system as a multi-layer system composed of technical, economic and social layers. Our approach includes observation, simulation, testing and assessment activities as described in the columns below.

Observing

Learn which data on power systems/networks and smart grids we collect, maintain, process and share... [more]

Simulating

Discover our simulation facilities, computing capability and learn about our experiments on smart power systems... [more]

Assessing
