WISEGRID – WIDE SCALE DEMONSTRATION OF INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS AND BUSINESS MODELS FOR EUROPEAN SMARTGRID

www.wisegrid.eu

PROGRAMME: EU H2020

ABSTRACT:

WiseGRID project will provide a set of solutions, technologies and business models to increase the smartness, stability and security of an open, consumer-centric European energy grid and provide cleaner and more affordable energy for European citizens, through an enhanced use of storage technologies and electro-mobility and a highly increased share of RES. WiseGRID will provide technological applications for different actors, such as prosumers, DSOs, ESCOS, aggregators and EV fleet operators, in order to share the benefits of the European Smart Grid in a fair, sustainable and efficient way and achieve an all-win situation. In this context, WiseGRID promotes, by means of new technologies and business models, collective schemes and community initiatives, giving power and protection to the final consumer, contributing to a more competitive and well-functioning internal energy market, and help address serious social problems of vulnerable consumers and energy poverty. Moreover, the project is not just aiming at quantitative improvements brought by innovative technology, but to use technology innovation to support a change of paradigm in the energy market, including energy accumulation systems and the integration of charging infrastructure to favour the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles

WiseGRID solutions will be demonstrated and evaluated under real life conditions in five large-scale demonstrators: the Electric cooperative of Crevillent in Spain, the renewable energy cooperative Ecopower in Flanders, Belgium, The local Distribution Service Operator (DSO) of Terni in Italy and the national Distribution Service Operator (DSO) HEDNO in Mesogia and the island on Kythnos in Greece .
