4. OBIETTIVI EU
40% di riduzione della CO2 entro il 2030
27% di nuove rinnovabili (RES) entro il 2030
27% di miglioramento dell’efficienza energetica entro il
2030
10% di interconnessioni tra paesi membri entro il 2020
Per rispettare questi parametri grandi
investimenti di ricerca e sviluppo dovranno
essere affrontati, anche in ambito ICT

5. ICT 4 SMART GRIDS
La EEGI, l’iniziativa Europea per le Smartgrid, nel 2010 ha stabilito
con una roadmap costantemente aggiornata, una serie di priorità
per garantire il raggiungimento dei requisiti di efficienza
energetica e riduzione dei livelli CO2.
Classificazione:
- Trasmissione:
 5 Clusters:
 Network architecture, Power technologies, Network operation, Market design,
Asset Management
 17 Obiettivi funzionali suddivisi in priorità specifiche che coinvolgono settori
specializzati, tra cui l’ICT
- Distribuzione:
 5 Clusters:
 Integration of Smart Customers, Integration of DER and new users, Network
operation, Network Planning and Asset Management, Market design
 13 Obiettivi funzionali suddivisi in priorità specifiche che coinvolgono settori
specializzati, tra cui l’ICT

…

7. ICT 4 SMART GRIDS – ES1.
DISTRIBUZIONE
Cluster: C1 – INTEGRATION OF SMART CUSTOMERS
Functional objective: D1 - Definition of Active Demand
Priorities
D1a. Smart Metering Infrastructure to measure energy consumption
and apply time-of use tariffs
D1b. Devices enabling visualization and control of consumers’
consumption using the latest technology (e.g. In-Home displays...)
D1c. Communication infrastructures to support the whole system
D1d. Smart Energy management boxes, smart plugs, smart appliances,
interfaces for load control and solutions to communicate with
consumers and with the smart appliances in the domestic environment
D1e. Systems/solutions for demand modelling and forecasting
D1f. Power market modelling to size the benefits of massive
deployment of AD in distribution networks

8. ICT 4 SMART GRIDS – ES2.
DISTRIBUZIONE
Cluster: C2 - INTEGRATION OF DER AND NEW USES
Functional objective: D3 – Integration of DER at low voltage
Priorities
D3a Grid support capabilities inverters adapted to distribution network
requirements and needs
D3b ICT infrastructure in low voltage networks for monitoring and control of SDER
D3c Network monitoring systems and related communication infrastructure
supporting small scale DER integration in low voltage networks
D3d New actuators (e.g. switches) and new sensors (e.g. fault detectors, voltage and
current sensors) for LV network, leading to new protection and control strategies
D3e Models for simulating and studying the new systems’ impacts on LV network
D3f Models and methods for evaluation of power quality focused mainly on
harmonic distortion and power oscillations in LV network
D3g Network management/control systems with, inter alia, self-healing capabilities
for fault management in LV network
D3h New tools for network planning and design with the ability to integrate
conventional (passive) network simulations (load flow, etc.) with the simulation of
active components and control algorithms

9. ICT 4 SMART GRIDS – ES3.
TRASMISSIONE
Cluster: C3 – NETWORK OPERATION
Functional objective: T6 - Innovative tools and methods
for pan-European network observability and
controllability
Priorities
T6a - To assess and validate the performance of
intelligent local sensors and data processing equipment
(with sensor manufacturers) against the requirements of
state estimation and dynamic simulation
T6b - To develop local state models with a sufficient
level of intelligence at the substation level and to use
this valuable information with state estimators and
dynamic simulation tools.
T6c - To integrate forecast tools in real time control
functions

10. ICT 4 SMART GRIDS – ES4.
TRASMISSIONE
Cluster: C4 – MARKET DESIGN
Functional objective: T11 - Advanced tools for capacity
allocation and congestion management
Priorities
T11a - To develop an algorithm for computing potential
extra capacities in real time or as closely as possible;
taking into account security criteria and without the need
for counter-trading issues.
T11b – To introduce simulation options that account for
interactions between the various regulatory frameworks
T11c - To develop an algorithm for computing potential
extra capacities in real time or as closely as possible;
taking into account security criteria and without the need
for counter-trading issues

13. LABELLING
L’iniziativa Europea delle Smartgrid, EEGI, ha stabilito
dei parametri di riconoscimento sulle nuove reti di
trasmissione dell’energia, denominato Gold Label
Circa 50 progetti a livello Europeo tra quelli che hanno
partecipato ai primi due round di selezione hanno
ottenuto il riconoscimento, 4 italiane, di cui due liguri:
- Smartgen
- Smart Polygeneration Microgrid
