The Pan-European system with an efficient coordinated use of flexibilities for the integration of a large share of RES is a four-year project. The aim of EU-SysFlex is to identify issues and solutions associated with integrating large-scale renewable energy and create a plan to provide practical assistance to power system operators across Europe.
FLEXITRANSTORE
FLEXITRANSTORE is an Integrated Platform for Increased FLEXibility in smart TRANSmission grids with STORage Entities and large penetration of Renewable Energy Sources. This four-year project aims to contribute to the evolution towards a pan-European transmission network with high flexibility and high interconnection levels to facilitate the transformation of the current energy production mix.
InteGRID
InteGRID stands for Demonstration of INTElligent grid technologies for renewables INTEgration and INTEractive consumer participation enabling INTEroperable market solutions and INTErconnected stakeholders. This three-year project vision is to bridge the gap between citizens, technology and the other players of the energy system. Its aim is to integrate cutting-edge technologies solutions and mechanisms in a Framework of replicable tools to connect existing energy networks with diverse stakeholders. It would, therefore, facilitate optimal and dynamic operation of the Distribution Grid (DG), foster the stability and coordination of distributed energy resources and enable collaborative storage schemes within an increasing share of renewables.
INVADE
INVADE is a smart system of renewable energy storage based on Integrated electric vehicles (EVs) and bAtteries to empower mobile, Distributed and centralized Energy storage in distribution grid. This two-year project relies on a cloud-based flexibility management system integrated with EVs and batteries empowering energy storage to increase the share of renewables in the smart grid.
iDistributedPV
iDistributedPV is a three-year project which aims at developing affordable integrated solutions to enhance the penetration of distributed solar PV (buildings) based on the effective integration of solar PV equipment, energy storage, monitoring and controlling strategies and procedures, active demand management, smart technologies and the integration of procedures in the power distribution system according to market criteria.
PV-Prosumers4Grid
Development of innovative self-consumption and aggregation concepts for PV Prosumers to improve grid load and increase market value of PV is a three-year project which started in 2017. The aim of PV-Prosumers4Grid is to develop and implement innovative self-consumption and aggregation concepts and business models for PV prosumers that will help integrating sustainable and competitive electricity from PV in the electricity system.
SMILE
Smart Islands Energy is a four-year project which started in 2017. Smart grids and flexible electricity systems are key to achieving a modernization of Europe’s electricity system. The SMILE project will contribute to this modernization by demonstrating various innovative technological and non-technological solutions, ranging from the integration of battery technology, power-to-heat, power-to-fuel, pumped hydro, electric vehicles, to electricity stored on board of boats, an aggregator approach to demand side management (DSM) and predictive algorithms.
E-LOBSTER
Electric LOsses Balancing through integrated STorage and power Electronics towards increased synergy between Railways and electricity distribution networks is a three-year project ending in 2021. E-LOBSTER aims to develop an that will establish synergies between power distribution networks, electrified transport networks (metro, trams, light railways etc.) and charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe. There is a need for integrated solutions that will reduce electricity losses, increase grid stability in areas of high local renewable energy sources penetration and accommodate the needs of EVs, local electrical storage (identifying the most suitable storage technologies for the mutual synergy interconnection of electrified transport and distribution network) and prosumers.
MUSE GRIDS
The Multi Utilities Smart Energy GRIDS project is a four-year project which started in 2018. MUSE GRIDS aims to demonstrate, in two weakly connected areas a set of both technological and non-technological solutions targeting the interaction of local energy grids (electricity grids, district heating and cooling networks, water networks, gas grids, electrical mobility etc.) to enable maximization of local energy independency through optimized management of the production via end user driven control strategies, smart grid functionality, storage, Combined Heat and Power and Renewable Energy Sources integration.
