PRICE-RED: Monitoring and Automation, aims to create an international precedent in the development of a unique solution for monitoring and automation of the transformation centers as there are currently only systems at a level of substations but not in the medium voltage.

COTEVOS designed and established the optimal laboratory infrastructure and capabilities for the interoperability assessment of devices, tools and services belonging to the electric vehicle (EV) and the smart grid systems.

This Project seeks to advance research on high voltage direct current transmission links. In particular, several key strategic technologies have been identified: 1. Analysis of a hybrid HVDC transmission architecture for the evacuation of energy generated in marine plants. Possible alternatives to compete with the most widespread topology VSC-HVDC. 2. Construction of a VSC-HVDC laboratory, which will serve to test both high and low level control algorithms of the MMC converters. 3. High-level control of VSC-HVDC converter stations to support the grid stability. 4.

FerroSmartGrid (Smart Grid Development for Energy Management in the Railway Sector) involves the development of an experimental demonstrator for the first Smart Grid for rail. It allows optimum management of the system's electric network, as well as the interoperability of different urban and interurban transport systems, integrated electrically through intelligent nodes, and interacting with their users in the environment of rail stations.

SAGRA(Advanced System for Islanding Networks Management): The aim of the project consists of developing an integrated solution in order to manage islanding networks with distributed generation and storage and IoT. The project is divided in three pillars: monitoring system, distributed generation and storage management system and predictive maintenance system.

TIGRIS (Total Integrated GRid Intelligent System). The aim of the project consists of developing a integrated and secured Smart Grid solution, in order to offer an efficient, economic, automated and reliable electrical distribution. That will help to increase the capacity of the system without investing in new infrastructures.

WiseGRID will provide a set of solutions and technologies to increase the smartness, stability and security of an open, consumer-centric European energy grid.

NOBEL GRID will provide advanced tools and ICT services to all actors in the Smart Grid and retail electricity market in order to ensure benefits from cheaper prices, more secure and stable grids and clean electricity. NOBEL GRID results will be tested in real conditions in five different electric cooperatives and non-profit demonstration sites in five EU members’ states: The electric cooperative of Alginet (Spain) The renewable energy cooperative Ecopower in Flanders (Belgium) acts as renewable generator and supplier cooperative. The cooperative Carbon-coop in Manchester (UK). The pu

Renewable energy sources are key enablers in the endeavor to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the anthropogenic global warming. The intermittent behaviour of renewable energy sources and their limited storage capabilities present new challenges to power system operators in the maintenance of power quality and reliability. However, the increased availability of advanced automation and communication technologies has also provided new intelligent solutions to meet these challenges.

The flexibility of the industrial electricity demand has been identified as a potential that through innovative business models can facilitate further growth of variable renewable energy, while reducing the industrial electricity costs and contributing to the European energy policy goals. In this project the large industry is working with the renewable energy community to identify and implement business models for supplying variable renewable electricity to industrial users with flexibility in their demand, creating win-win situations.
