Distributed Intelligence for Cost-Effective and Reliable Distribution Network Operation (DISCERN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

As the patterns of power generation and distribution are rapidly changing in Europe towards a highly dispersed and volatile system, Distribution System Operators need to completely change traditional ways of grid operations. Currently developed solutions to increase the intelligence of medium and low voltage grids to cope with this task are often highly specialized, non-replicable and therefore no ...

Active Demand Value ANd Consumers Experiences Discovery (ADVANCED)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Active Demand (AD) has the potential to contribute to solving the challenges of electricity systems and offers significant benefits to consumers. There are only few real AD programmes being implemented in Europe and the results of AD pilots are rather fragmented. AD is considered one of the largest untapped energy resources. The main reason behind it is insufficient consumer awareness regarding th ...
