EEPOS focuses on neighbourhood energy management and decision support systems that will integrate local consumers & producers (prosumers) with the main electrical and heating grids.The objectives are to develop:- Visionary scenarios and business models for neighbourhood energy services for energy trading between prosumers in neighbourhoods and the grid.- Management systems for energy positive neighbourhoods.- Information and decision support system for optimising the use of energy beyond the buildings.- Methods for end-user engagement and interfaces to support them with relevant informatio

Smart metering technology has a great potential to achieve cost-efficient energy savings, and its effective use is crucial in achieving the 2016 and 2020 energy efficiency targets in Europe. Moreover, smart meters play an important role in smart grids and reaching the EU 20% renewable energy source target by 2020.

The main objective of this project is to facilitate the integration of RES in the electricity grid due to the usage of the flexibility potential in the energy consuming process of industrial customers.

The e-DASH project aims at the harmonization of electricity demand in Smart Grids for sustainable integration of electric vehicles. This is addressed by an intelligent charging system supported with real-time exchange of charge related data between EVs and the grid. Adopting the e-DASH approach allows high current fast-charging for large numbers of EVs in a brand-independent way and price-adaptive charging/reverse-charging at optimum price for the customer leading to increased desirability of EVs. In order to prevent damages of costly EV batteries, sophisticated charge control is inevitable.

PowerUp aims to develop the Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) interface, involving a full development cycle of physical/link-layer specification, charging control protocol design, prototyping, conformance testing, field trials, and standardisation. Its results will ensure that EVs smoothly integrate into emerging smart-grid networks. Thereby the efficiencies resulting from robust grid operation may be achieved; V2G capabilities will smoothen the daily fluctuation of electricity demand and will enable EVs to act as emergency energy supplies.

The project ENDORSE aims at a user-driven development of downstream services in renewable energies by exploiting the GMES Core Services (MACC, SAFER and Geoland 2) together with other EO/in-situ data and modelling. It addresses regional services promoting the energy use from sun, wind, and biomass, electricity grid management and building engineering through day lighting in buildings.

Goal of SmartC2Net is to enable robust smart grid control utilizing heterogeneous third-party communication infrastructures.

FINESCE builds on and extends the results of the FI-PPP FINSENY project to realise sustainable real time smart energy services. The consortium includes leading energy and ICT operators, manufacturers and service providers as well as research organisations and SMEs from all over Europe. Together, they contribute directly to strongly focused trials and business innovation. The project features a scale and scope ensuring the FINESCE results will drive the FI-WARE and Future Internet success and long-term exploitation internationally.

E2SG aims at developing and demonstrating key enabling technologies in the following fields1) node-grid interfaces – especially between generating nodes and the grid2) grid-sensing/metering – to collect the information needed for management and control3) over-the-grid communication – to effectively carry sensing and control information where it is needed grid-topology and control – to understand and design connection-induced behaviours improving reliability and to control (local) energy production/distribution by exploiting advanced storage policies and energy routing – to develop flexible and

The overall objective of the eBADGE project is to propose an optimal pan-European Intelligent Balancing mechanism, piloted on the borders of Austria, Italy and Slovenia, that is also able to integrate Virtual Power Plant Systems that can assist in the management of the electricity Transmission and Distribution grids in an optimized, controlled and secure manner.
