The main goal of FLEXIGRID is to allow the distribution grid to operate in a secure and stable manner when a large share of variable generation electricity sources is connected to low and medium voltage grids.
To do so, FLEXIGRID proposes a three-level approach aiming at
Flexibility
Reliability
Economic Efficiency
through the development of innovative hardware and software solutions.
These solutions will be demonstrated in four Demo-Sites across Europe ensuring their interoperability through its integration into an open source platform able to harmonize the data flow between FLEXIGRID solutions and the real grid.
GOAL 1
To improve the power system flexibility by enhancing the grid hosting capacity of RES through DR, P2X, storage of electricity and variable generation towards the energy network decarbonization
GOAL 2
To increase the observability, controllability and automation of the network systems for the improvement of both the security and resilience of the grid
GOAL 3
To mitigate short-term and long-term congestions in the distributed grid from an economic efficient point of view thus reducing the cost of the European energy transition
GOAL 4
To ensure the interoperability and compatibility of the developed solutions with the different platforms used by the European DSOs guaranteeing a proper and secure data management
GOAL 5
To improve the power system flexibility by enhancing the grid hosting capacity of RES through DR, P2X, storage of electricity and variable generation towards the energy network decarbonization
GOAL 6
To increase the observability, controllability and automation of the network systems for the improvement of both the security and resilience of the grid
GOAL 7
To mitigate short-term and long-term congestions in the distributed grid from an economic efficient point of view thus reducing the cost of the European energy transition
GOAL 8
To ensure the interoperability and compatibility of the developed solutions with the different platforms used by the European DSOs guaranteeing a proper and secure data management
