Project demonstrators

A second Swedish demonstrator of E.ON, located in the Skåne region (Southern Sweden), is exploring means to island a portion of the distribution grid, supported by the client through a “peer to peer” approach, while assessing the benefits of advanced control of Local Energy Systems for the DSO.

A first Swedish demonstrator of E.ON, located in Malmö investigates the energy carrier integration using heat inertia of buildings as a flexibility measure in order to attain a more optimized and environmental friendly production in a distributed energy system.

The demonstrator in Eindhoven, coordinated by Enexis, proposes a multi-service approach to unleash available local flexibilities such as stationary as well as electric vehicle battery storage, by using interactions between the distribution system operators, balance responsible parties and the charge point operators for electric vehicles. To achieve these goals a model is designed to describe the systems and mechanisms on operational, enterprise and market levels, which enables the provision of flexibilites through market players.

The German demonstrator of Avacon, located in a rural area between Helmstedt and Salzgitter (central Germany) manages a centralized platform of flexibilities and distributed energy resources to use energy where it is generated in order to relieve the distribution grid.
AVACON is developing a new technology – the “Smart Grid Hub” –which makes the communication and coordination tasks feasible, but also makes possible to optimize interactions between the various involved players. The Smart Grid Hub is a technology that is supposed to work with any smart meter infrastructure, provided that it complies with EU-recommendations. It therefore accelerates the automation of network operations while being adaptable to any flexibility situation.

The Czech demonstration is located in several areas in the Czech Republic where ČEZ Distribuce operates distribution networks. The demonstration is not bound to one specific region in order to prove the replicability and interoperability of the designed solutions. The Czech demonstrator led by ČEZ Distribuce relies on grid automation and energy storage to integrate decentralized renewable energy in the distribution grid and smart functions of charging stations for electric vehicles as a source of flexibility, in different areas of the country.

The French demonstrator Nice Smart Valley is located in and around the city of Nice, a metropolis that is already heavily involved in the “smart city” innovation. Nice is ranked 4th “Smart City” on a global scale in the international comparison of  Juniper Research.
Enedis investigates flexibilities to support the grid, storage systems and islanding operation.
