The end customer has become a key to a successful implementation of both smart grid, flexibility and energy savings projects. Across the H2020 projects many different views and ways of tackling the interaction with the end customer has been trialled.  What are best practices and key learnings from this intensive work?

The EU funded project FLEXICIENCY aims at facilitating the exchange of data and services via a European Market place, expected to catalyse the B2B interactions among energy stakeholders and set a common language to support data flow at EU level.

InteGrid is an H2020 project that runs between January 2017 and June 2020, with a 15M€ budget and 14 partners. It started by defining the Use Cases and Architecture that will be later implemented in the field over the 3 demonstrators: Portugal, Slovenia and Sweden.

The main goal of STORE&GO is to demonstrate innovative large-scale energy storage technologies and Power-to-Gas concepts after optimisation. Furthermore, the project will offer a high variety of analyses throughout the entire project duration regarding areas as socio-economic analyses, environmental impacts, Licensing modalities, the regulatory framework, costs and benefits and much more.

In a fast-paced and competitive world, modernization is a priority that requires Energy actors to explore new concepts. In particular, DSOs must find ways to optimize electric power systems while integrating increasing shares of renewables (more than 50% by 2030) in a stable and secure way.The InterFlex project, as a response to the Low Carbon Energy LCE-02-2016 call, investigates the interactions between flexibilities provided by energy market players and the distribution grid. Interflex has brought together 20 partners across the European Union (5 DSOs, equipment manufacturers, research institutes) to explore flexibility solutions such as Demand Response, cross energy services, energy storage and the overall smartening of the distribution grid.
