What are smart grids? Energy networks Existing infrastructure Optimal use of new technologies Contributions to EU-202020 goals Greenhouse gas reduction: 20% (1990) Energy-efficiency: 20% increase 20% of energy renewables
Goals of Smart Grids Facilitate connection & operation of RES & DER Optimise grid operation, usage & infrastructure Provide consumers with more info & choices of supply Allow consumers to participate in optimising system Reduce environmental impact of electricity supply system Maintain/improve current levels of system reliability &quality Maintain/improve existing network efficiency Foster market integration towards integrated EU electricity market

Smart Grids Flanders: What? Activities for participants 1. Project working 2. Facilitate access to test infrastructure 3. Information dissemination 4. Networking
Project working Goal Stimulate innovation by cooperation in Flanders Flemish enterprises towards international cooperation How? 1. Active generation of ideas 2. Selection of ideas 3. Tailor-made assistance & support 4. Presentation & dissemination of results
Selection of ideas Selection based on : Break-through potential Cooperation potential Contribution to smartness of the grid Review by Council of wise (wo)men : Innovation character Feasibility
Tailor-made assistance & support (1) Bring together appropriate project partners Facilitate access to test infrastructure (national/international) Industry e.g. Laborelec, Eandis, Research e.g. Energyville, PowerLink, Experimental gardens e.g. Vlaams Proeftuin Platform, Look for Financing Delineate project scope/goals
Tailor-made assistance & support (2) Check timetable & milestones Organize kick-off session Initiate cooperation agreement Initiate additional projects Link with other projects Give visibility to results (user group).
