JRC smart grid inventory –highlights
• First Inventory of Smart Grids in Europe
completed in 2011, leading to Report:
Smart Grid projects in Europe: lessons
learned and current developments
• 219 Smart Grid projects in EU27
• € 5 billion overall investment
• Majority of projects in EU15
while most of EU12 lag behind
• Project numbers: 7 % Deployment,
46% Demonstration and 47% R&D
� Germany, UK, Italy lead investments in Demonstration projects
� Denmark investing by far more than any other country in R&D projects
Budget in R&D and Demonstration

Relevant Policy Background
• EC Directive 2009/72 encourages Member States to deploy
smart metering systems and smart grids
• EC Communication (2011) “Smart Grids from innovation to
deployment”:
– EC to provide CBA guidelines to be used by the Member States to fulfill
the provisions of Directive 2009/72/EC for the roll-out of smart metering
systems
– EC to provide CBA guidelines for the assessment of Smart Grid
deployment
• EC Proposal for Energy infrastructure regulation
– Within the Smart Grid Task Force, definition of an assessment framework
for the identification of Projects of Common Interest
• Assessment framework to provide guidance
for conducting cost benefit analyses of Smart
Grid (and smart metering) projects
– based on EPRI (Electric Power Research
Institute)’s work and on collaboration between
EC and US (DoE) in the EU-US Energy Council
– Contribution to Recommendation 2012/148/EU
"roll-out of smart metering systems“
• A European Smart Grid project (InovGrid, led
by the Portuguese distribution operator EDP
Distribuição) used as a case study to fine-tune
and illustrate the assessment framework

Lab functions and capabilities
• The European-wide electricity gridmodel built starting from data from the European Transmission System Operators, complemented by datasets from the European power system
• The power grid model includes more than 10,000 elements (nodes and lines) of Europe's transmission grid and can be used to run analyses of the European transmission network via advanced power simulation platforms
The JRC’s European power grid model
• Identification of ‘European critical
infrastructure’ (whose disruption has
a significant impact on at least 2
Member States)
• Web-based application for the
visualisation of Europe-wide
electricity systems and for the
assessment of energy network
criticality and vulnerability
Critical infrastructure (JRC-ENER Admin. Arrangement)
• The EUPowerDispatch model analyses the impacts of variable renewable energy increase on the European cross-border transmission capacity needs
– Minimum Cost Flow Problem (MCFP) taking into account generation and transmission constraints
• The model minimises the annual electricity variable production costs in the interconnected European system
Renewables integration in Europe/Mediterranean
• Assessment of multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grids to integrate large scale offshore wind power in the North Sea (in cooperation with ECN and TU Delft)
• Set-up and testing of a stand-alone configuration with three small-scale Voltage Source Converters (VSCs)
Multi-terminal links for super grids
• Real-time digital simulator interconnection with the VSC-based multi-terminal DC grid for testing and validation of different models and control strategies
• The same concept can be used for multi-terminal grids in the Mediterranean Sea
SOLAR
WIND
• TARGET: Monitoring of wind farms using real-time data streams from PMUs and the detection of renewable energy sources production interactions (in cooperation with KTH)
Sub-synchronous oscillations monitoring in power systems
• DELIVERABLES: setting up a detailed representation of the power system model including the components into consideration and wind farms (type 3 wind turbines - Double Feed Induction Generators and type 4 wind turbines - Converter connected Synchronous Generators)
• TOOLS: The Real-time digital simulator of the Smart Grids Laboratory
• It is aimed to assess the integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs) in the future smart grid through:
• Development of innovative, cooperative multi-agents methods for simulating the emerging behavior of different agents (consumers/prosumers/EVs) at several aggregation levels (e.g. building, district, …) able to:
• (i) enhance the energy use efficiency of the consumers/prosumers;
• (ii) enable large scale integration of renewable energy sources;
• (iii) enable efficient use of the energy stored in the EVsbatteries including development of smart charging/discharging strategies.
Agent Based Modeling
• Cooperation with “Model City Mannheim" project for testing their equipment (http://www.modellstadt-mannheim.de/)
• SmarTest Energy Butler
– an intelligent electricity meter
– a system (energy butler) for switching electrical appliances automatically, and
– an Internet-based Web portal (electricity consumption and costs, information on rates)
Smart Home - Smart Gridsinteroperability

• Smart Grids as complex techno-socio-economic systems
– with multiple layers (physical, cyber, social, policy)
– and multiple interacting decision makers, with autonomous
behaviours, goals and attitudes
