The High Assurance
Software Laboratory (HASLab) of the EEUM is starting a new European project focusing
on energy services’ innovation. The kick-off meeting was held in Lisbon, on 12th
and 13th January.
The InteGrid
European Project aims to develop and demonstrate in a real environment – in
Portugal, Sweden and Slovenia – innovative solutions to manage the distribution
grid and highly scalable and replicable energy systems, involving citizens,
communities and companies.
INESC
TEC will be represented in this project by the HASLab of the EEUM and the Centre
for Power and Energy Systems (CPES). HASLab will be developing a new market
platform, together with SAP, where the goal
is to encourage new business models in data management and to explore
the flexibility of electricity consumption and energy efficiency. CPES is the
project’s technical coordinator and will be actively developing new tools to
manage power grids and creating innovative business models for clients in the
industry and household sectors.
The InteGrid counts with 14 partners from eight European countries
(Portugal, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Slovenia and the
United Kingdom). The partners involved cover the entire value chain, featuring
distribution system operators, energy companies, ICT companies, industrial
consumers, SMEs and R&D institutions, who will be working in collaboration
with relevant national and European organisations. In Portugal, the partners
involved in this project are EDP Distribuição, the Centre for New Energy
Technologies (CNET), INESC TEC, Águas de Portugal, DNV GL, and SAP.
The kick-off meeting of InteGrid took place on 12th and 13th January, in
Lisbon. The project is coordinated by EDP Distribuição and has been approved by
the European Commission, as part of the European programme Horizon 2020, with a
budget of 15 million Euros and a duration of 42 months.
