What is the European Communication on smart grids?

The European Communication on smart grids [EC, 2011] further underlines the importance of consumer awareness and emphasises how ‘developing smart grids in a competitive retail market should encourage consumers to change behaviour, become more active and adapt to new ‘smart’ energy consumption patterns’ [EC 2011, p10].

What can smart grids do for Europe?

Project results provide an encouraging indication of how smart grids can help integrate more renewables, accommodate electric vehicles, give more control to consumers over their energy consumption, avoid blackouts and restore power quickly when outages occur. How can you contribute to this Europe-wide effort?

Are smart grids a key component of the EU energy strategy?

Intelligent electricity networks — smart grids — are a key component in the EU energy strategy. In the last few years, smart grid projects have been growing in number, size and scope throughout Europe. Where are they taking place? What are they about? Who is leading them? What progresses have we made?

What is the eegi Smart Grid Model?

Overall, the EEGI smart grid model consists of 14 functional project areas at the transmission level, 12 functional project areas at the distribution level and five functional project areas at the interface of transmission and distribution.

What are the technical obstacles faced by smart grids?

Another technical obstacle is the technological immaturity of certain smart grid components. For example, this was one of the obstacles encountered in the Inovgrid project. Some of the technical components of the Inovgrid architecture were expressly developed by some local manufacturers.

Are social and cultural implications important in Smart Grid projects?

This confirms that there is still insufficient consideration given to social and cultural implications in smart grid projects in Europe. Abrahamse, W., Steg, L., Vlek, C., Rothengatter, T., 2005.
