Description du projet
L’avenir de l’intégration des énergies renouvelables
La nature dynamique des sources d’énergie renouvelables rend complexe la gestion de leur production fluctuante et la garantie d’une alimentation électrique fiable. L’intégration de ces ressources énergétiques distribuées dans les réseaux existants nécessite des technologies avancées. Dans ce contexte, le projet UNITED-GRID, financé par l’UE, vise à atteindre au moins 80 % de production d’énergie renouvelable sur une base annuelle, avec une amélioration de 50 % de la fiabilité et une réduction de 10 % des pertes sur le réseau. L’équipe développera une boîte à outils qui englobera un éventail de technologies révolutionnaires. Il s’agit notamment de solutions de connaissance et de contrôle du système en temps réel, de prévisions à court terme de la production et de la charge, de systèmes de protection sans réglage et de nouveaux modèles commerciaux. L’intégration de ces technologies dans un système professionnel garantit l’interopérabilité et l’intégration homogène avec les systèmes existants.
Objectif
"UNITED-GRID aspires to be the arrow-head within “Integrated cyber-physical solutions for intelligent distribution grid with distributed energy resources” and addresses the challenges in the “competitive low-carbon energy"", relevant to next generation of active distribution grids.
UNITED-GRID will develop a tool-box with technologies enabling at least 80% renewable-based energy production on an annual basis, with an increased reliability performance of 50%, while decreasing grid losses by 10%. The developed technologies include e.g. solutions for real-time system awareness and control, short term generation and load forecasting, setting-less protection schemes and new business models. The tool-box will be integrated into a professional system ensuring interoperability and smooth integration with existing EMS/DMS on the market. To enhance future impacts, at least 2/3 of novel solutions which have been positively validated will have an agreed and financed development processes for the next TRL level beyond the project.
The project team has been selected carefully and has proven R&I, demonstration and deployment capabilities as well as established regulatory and policy channels. The team includes experienced research organisations (SP, TU/e, CEA, and Chalmers), 3 DSOs, a DMS provider and expert SME partners to ensure the exploitation of the developed solutions.
To further enhance the deployment towards a low carbon energy society, the project will together with at least 20 market actors define pathways to navigate in the rapidly changing energy environment. Furthermore, at least 25% of the test-pilots will sign a letter of commitment to execute parts of the developed pathways.
The real-life demonstrators, covering more than 80% of European market conditions, are provided by the project partners in-kind to an estimated value of €4.1M. With the requested EC contribution of €4M, the project encloses €8M, matching the UNITED-GRID projects ambitions and objectives.
