H2020 project UNITED-GRID

UNITED‐GRID aims to secure and optimise operation of the future intelligent distribution networks with unprecedented complexity caused by new distributed market actors along with emerging technologies such as renewable generation, energy storage, and demand resources. The project will provide integrated cyber-physical solutions, while efficiently exploiting the opportunities provided by the new actors and technologies. The core deliverable is the UNITED‐GRID tool‐box that could be “plugged in” to the existing Distribution Management System (DMS) via a cross‐platform for energy management, grid‐level control and protection.

ERA-NET Smart Grid Plus project m2M-GRID

Technical coordinator

Adoption of bottom-up technologies such as micro-grids in a mega scale in distribution grids is facing challenges from coexistence of top-down grid control systems and market models. This project aims to accelerate deployment of micro-grids by: (i) enhancing the distribution grid planning process to take into account technical and market impacts of micro-grid integration; (ii) developing control functions for effective coordination with distribution grids; (iii) developing a tool-box to exploit potential flexibility of micro-grids.
