The Planning in Europe

Main Criteria and Trends

Professor Jean Claude SABONNADIÈRE IEEE Life-Fellow Grenoble-INP France

EUROP is worrying with Climate

The policy of European Union is based on three main objectives:

– Reduce CO² Emission – Act for Energy Independence and security – Adapt its Energetic system to the future needs

SmartGrids Objectives

• Develop a shared vision for the future which encourages

the engagement of multiple, independent parties

• Identify research needs and build support for an

increased public and private research effort on electricity networks

• Align ongoing RTD projects and new European, national

and regional programmes on electricity transmission and distribution systems

• Draw conclusions and recommendations for follow-up

actions and implementation of the strategic research agenda and deployment plan

Shared Vision

Sustainability, competittion, security of supply

• Flexibility: fulfilling customers needs
• Accessibility: to all network users, particularly RES and

high efficiency DG with zero or low CO2 emissions

• Reliability: assuring and improving Quality of Supply and

resilient to hazards and uncertainties

• Economics: best value through innovation, efficient energy

management and level playing field competition and regulation

Vision Elements

• Toolbox of proven technical solutions, rapidly deployed

and cost effective to enable power injection for all sources into the existing grid

• Harmonising regulatory and commercial frameworks in

Europe, facilitating cross border trading

• Establish shared technical standards and protocols for
• pen access and manufacturer independency
• Information, computing and telecommunication (ICT)

systems for innovative service arrangements, improve efficiency and enhanced services

• Interfacing of new and old designs of grid equipment to

ensure inter-operability and control

European Electricity Networks in Transition

Future Requirements

• Customers are part of the “network-loop”, both producer

and consumer = “prosumer”

– Real-time price information (smart meters) – Automated systems + convenience (DR/DSM) – Adequate investment and reward incentives

• Integration of millions small scale generators
• Bulk power and small scale sustainability coexistence
• Demand and supply balancing solutions
• Efficiently operated (and reliable) network
• Differentiated Power Quality at connection point
• Mature markets and regulation

Future Network Vision

• Microgrids: LV networks with DG sources, local

storage, controllable loads, automatic islanding

• Virtual Utilities: configure and deliver
• Internet model: customer in control

Points of Interest

• Technical, commercial and regulatory

solutions

• Central and distributed generation
• Integration of innovative technologies
• Harmonisation of equipment standards
• Improved cross-border flow
• Higher education and skills
• Increased funding to make it happen
