SCCERs Swiss Competence Centers for Energy Research are Inter- university research networks (165 laboratories) The centers bring together academia and industry, going a long way towards ensuring the transfer of knowledge and technology. Established in 2014 Phase I: 2014- 2016 (CHF 72 millions) Phase II: 2017- 2020 (CHF 120 millions) 60% finance by Innosuisse and other public funds 20% by own contribution 20% by 3rd party funds Main goal: Support Swiss 2050 Energy Strategy
SCCERs: 7 activity domains
SCCER-FURIES Specifications The FUtuRe SwIss Electrical InfraStructure (FURIES) should cover: National energy related needs of decentralized production, exchange of data between Swissgrid and distribution grid operators upgrade and expansion (150 km) of the grid energy storage National other needs environmental and area planning social acceptance International needs energy import from northern countries Swiss - European energy hub Source: IEEE Smart Grid
SCCERs OBJECTIVES In line with the swiss energy and climate policy: collaborative and interdisciplinary research knowledge and technology transfer solution and innovation oriented along the whole value chain innovation of high TRLs enabling development of distributed energy production on the large scale guarantee of reduced grid costs associated to the connection of distributed energy generation Improvement of the reliability and security of the entire energy system.
