The project mainstreams green energy investments to EU islands to give them the opportunity to implement energy technologies and innovative approaches in a cost-competitive way. Starting with a broad survey gathering EU islands’ needs, NESOI develops transparent technical, social, economic and environmental criteria to select, via two competitive calls, energy transition projects for customised direct support.

NETfficient project improves the penetration of renewable energy through the use of ICT tools storage and high technology, as well as individual prosumers or as energy service providers to the network. Five use cases will be developed in real live scenario in the island of Borkum (low and medium voltage), aiming to have a high impact in the storage market through replication of the use cases. This replication will be driven by efficient dissemination and exploitation activities and their demonstrated business models.

The project offered innovative solutions for all the actors of the Smart grid, to create more secure and stable Smart Grids and cleaner and affordable energy. In addition, to make possible an efficient implementation of these solutions, the project will work on the analysis of new business models, as well as improvements in legislation and regulation in the field of Smart Grids.

The project provided a seamless near real-time integration of all the actors in the electricity network across countries with a view to creating the conditions for a synergistic operation that optimizes the overall energy management while creating an open and fair market structure. This synergistic process is enabled by open IT architectures that guarantee continental-level interoperability.

OSMOSE aimed at increasing the techno-economic potential of a wide range of flexibility solutions and covering several applications, i.e.: synchronisation of large power systems by multiservice hybrid storage; multiple services provided by the coordinated control of different storage and FACTS devices; multiple services provided by grid devices, large demand-response and RES generation coordinated in a smart management system; cross-border sharing of flexibility sources through a near real-time cross-border energy market.

P2P-SmartTest project investigates and demonstrates a smarter electricity distribution system integrated with advanced ICT, regional markets and innovative business models. It will employ Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approaches to ensure the integration of demand side flexibility and the optimum operation of DER and other resources within the network while maintaining second-to-second power balance and the quality and security of the supply.
