Objective With the growing relevance of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) in the generation mix and the increasingly pro-active demand for electricity, power systems and their mode of operation need to evolve. evolvDSO will define future roles of distribution system operators (DSOs) on the basis of scenarios which will be driven by different DRES penetration levels, various degrees of technological progress, and differing customer acceptance patterns.The evolvDSO consortium addresses the main research and technology gaps that need to be solved for DSOs to efficiently fulfil their emerging and future roles in the European electricity system. The new tools and methods will encompass a wide array of DSO activities related to planning, operational scheduling, real-time operations and maintenance. Selected methods and tools developed during the project will be validated in computer simulations and real-life testbeds to maximise their deployability, scalability and replicability. Beyond this holistic, top-down approach, evolvDSO is unique in that it brings together the key actors of the electricity value chain that are at the forefront of smart grid development, and with a clear common view on what is needed for further DRES integration in Europe. The consortium consists of 16 partners including DSOs, TSOs, renowned research institutions and new market players that provide unique expertise to achieve the stated objectives.evolvDSO will contribute to the transition to a more sustainable European energy system by maintaining and increasing the security and reliability of distribution grids facilitating the increased feed-in of DRES. The results of evolvDSO will drive the implementation of the EEGI roadmap and ultimately provide a significant impetus for reaching EU climate targets. The project will establish strong links to the realization of smart cities, thus contributing to the EC initiative “Smart Cities and Communities” Fields of science engineering and technologycivil engineeringurban engineeringsmart citiesengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energynatural sciencesmathematicsapplied mathematicsmathematical model Programme(s) FP7-ENERGY - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Energy Topic(s) ENERGY.2013.7.1.1 - Development and validation of methods and tools for network integration of distributed renewable resources Call for proposal FP7-SMARTCITIES-2013 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator E-DISTRIBUZIONE SPA Address Via ombrone 2 00198 Roma Italy See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Administrative Contact Natale Caridi (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window EU contribution € 817 600,00 Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CYBERGRID GMBH Austria EU contribution € 159 371,00 Address Weimarer strasse 119/1 1190 Wien See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Reinhard Korsitzke (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window E-REDES - DISTRIBUICAO DE ELETRICIDADE SA Portugal EU contribution € 311 550,00 Address Rua camilo castelo branco 43 1050 044 Lisboa See on map Region Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Pedro Godinho Matos (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OPERATORS FOR SMART GRIDS Belgium EU contribution € 78 150,00 Address Rue de la loi 82 1040 Brussels / bruxelles See on map Region Région de Bruxelles-Capitale/Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest Région de Bruxelles-Capitale/ Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest Arr. de Bruxelles-Capitale/Arr.
