NOBEL GRID & WISEGRID projects - Clean energy for All Aris Dimeas National Technical University of Athens

NOBELGRID & WiseGRID goals Advanced smart meter with extended functionalities for all type of users (SLAM) Demand-response Allowing active participation, protection and empowerment of the European consumers and prosumers; Sustainable business models and regulatory recommendations, based on different technologies (smart metering, smart home appliances, batteries, EVs, etc.) to create a win-win situation for both grid and consumers.   Smartening the distribution grid Technologies and methods to gain advanced monitoring and awareness of variable generation, integration of Virtual Power Plants and microgrids as active balancing assets. Integration of renewable energy storage systems in the network, such as batteries or heat accumulators. Optimization of the market deployment of these storage systems, manage and balance the network optimally, responding better to changes in demand and reducing at the same time losses in distribution. Smart integration of electric mobility services for charging, providing storage capacity or to supply electricity to the grid, including the possible use of their batteries as storage systems or VPPs.

NOBELGRID & WiseGRID products Development from scratch of the advanced Smart Meter that provides extended functionality. It is grouped into two components: Smart metrology meter (SMM), a smart meter with metrology services Smart meter eXtension (SMX) an extension of the smart meter that provides functionality and advanced services. WG IOP (WiseGRID InterOperable Platform): ICT platform for real time monitoring capable of processing the heterogeneous and massive data stream coming from the distributed energy infrastructure. WG Cockpit: application for DSOs or microgrids Operators in order to control, manage and monitor their own grid, in order to improve flexibility, stability and security of their network, considering an increasing share of distributed renewable resources. WiseCORP: Corporate application for businesses, industries, ESCOs and public facilities consumers and prosumers to become smarter energy players. WiseCOOP: Application for energy retailers, aggregators, local communities and cooperatives of consumers and prosumers (and other intermediaries) to assist them in achieving better energy deals while relieving them from administrative procedures and cumbersome research. WiseHOME : application for individual domestic consumers and prosumers to become active energy players. WiseEVP (WiseGRID Electric Vehicle Platform): tool for vehicle-sharing companies and e-vehicles fleet managers in order to optimize the activities related with smart charging and discharging of the EVs and reduce energy billing. WG FastV2G: EV charging station that will make possible to use EV as dynamic distributed storage devices, feeding electricity stored in their batteries back into the system when needed (fast V2G supply). WG STaaS/VPP (WiseGRID energy STorage as a Service/Virtual Power Plants): service by which consumers/prosumers (be them households or corporate) can easily offer to the market their unused storage capacity. WG RESCO (WiseGRID Renewable Energy Service COmpany): tool for enabling the provision of energy to the consumers from RES making possible that the household/businesses serviced do not own and maintain the generation equipment.

NOBELGRID & WiseGRID pilot sites The projects' results will be tested in real conditions in seven different electric cooperatives and non-profit demonstration sites in six EU members’ states

Alginet, Spain Flanders, Belgium Terni, Italy Crevillent, Spain Meltemi, Greece Manchester, UK Attika region, Greece Kythnos Island, Greece

Expected impact Notable improvement on quality of life for EU citizens by increasing RES penetration and reduction of the emissions. Efficient and fair distribution of the benefits on the electricity distribution to all actors. Active participation of prosumers, and new players in energy markets, such aggregators and ESCOs. Opening up new markets for advanced smart grid and smart metering technologies to foster European industries' competitiveness. Promoting the implementation of new business models, market rules and legislation framework for smart grids and smart metering infrastructure.
