WiseGRID

Start and end dates: 
November, 2016 to April, 2020
Prevailing Stage of Development: 
Demonstration
Brief description and/or other information regarding the project: 
WiseGRID will provide a set of solutions and technologies to increase the smartness, stability and security of an open, consumer-centric European energy grid. The project will combine an enhanced use of storage technologies, a highly increased share of RES and the integration of charging infrastructure to favour the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles. WiseGRID technologies and solutions will be packed within 9 different products, the impact of which will be demonstrated under real life conditions in 4 large scale demonstrators –in Belgium, Italy, Spain and Greece- involving more than 1700 users –600 of which are corporate users or SMEs-, 60 batteries –totalling more than 300KWh of installed capacity-, 50 heat pumps – totalling more than 160kWh of installed capacity-, 180 EV, 40 charging stations and more than 70MWh of RES –PV, Wind Turbines and Hydro-. In order to facilitate the assessment of the performance, transferability and scalability of these solutions, the demonstrations will be conducted following 7 high level use cases.
