The European project INNTERESTING aims to accelerate wind energy technology development and to extend the lifetime of wind turbine components by developing innovative virtual and hybrid testing methods for prototype validation of pitch bearing and gearbox components.

The FlexPlan project aims at establishing a new grid planning methodology considering the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements.

Electricity networks have been widely equipped with alternating current technology at 50 or 60 Hz for over century. However, DC technology provides clear technical advantages in a world that will be dominated by energy storage systems, photovoltaic modules, digital equipment …

PROMOTioN seeks to develop meshed HVDC offshore grids on the basis of cost-effective and reliable technological innovation in combination with a sound political, financial and legal regulatory framework.

Advancements in digital technology, communication and standards have now made a digital substation possible. Though even with the clear advantages to digital substation, adaptation has been slow. This results in a lack of confidence by users of the need for digital …

EU-SysFlex stands for “Pan-European system with an efficient coordinated use of flexibilities for the integration of a large share of RES “. EU-SysFlex will develop new types of services that will meet the needs of the system with more than 50% of renewable energy sources …

The development of renewable energy and in particular wind energy has ensured that cost-effectiveness of this technology has increased, whereas this also leads to increasing sizes of wind parks which are located further away from the existing network. As a result, the …

In the context of the energy transition fund and on the recommendation of the Minister for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Marghem, the Minister Council has approved the EnergyVille project BREGILAB to maximize renewable energy in the future Belgian …

SolSThore aims to enable massive deployment of solar energy in the context of Smart Cities. This requires a combination of highly efficient building-integrated PV (both on the level of energy yield and device reliability) and local storage by means of batteries. SolSThore …

The GARPUR R&D project develops, assesses and evaluates probabilistic power system reliability criteria and transmission system reliability management strategies in the Pan-European power system. The goal is to improve the balance between reliability performance targets and …

The iTesla project aims at improving network operations with a new security assessment tool able to cope with increasingly uncertain operating conditions and take advantage of the growing flexibility of the grid. The developed toolbox should support the decision making …

The Linear research project examined various methods to tailor a household's energy consumption in function of the available wind and solar energy. These methods included new technologies and user interfaces.
