Brief overview of the ERIGrid achievements and results, as well as the ERIGrid 2.0 access possibilities by coordinator Thomas Strasser

Flexgrid Optical Networks provide higher spectrum efficiency and flexibility in comparison to traditional wavelength switched optical networks (WSON) due to the finer granularity in managing communication channels at the WDM layer, thus allowing beyond 100 Gbps transmission capabilities. They also promise allocating part of the traffic aggregation function to the optical layer, thus reducing the use of energy-hungry electronic devices. Accordingly, in this work, we analyzed these architectures from the power consumption perspective by evaluating the energy efficiency derived from introducing the Flexgrid technology in order to allow the shift of grooming and bandwidth aggregation functions at the optical layer, by envisioning a next generation of IP/MPLS-over-flexgrid transport architectures. ; This work was partially supported by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of the Spanish Government under the SUNSET project (TEC2014-59583-C2-2-R) and the Departament d'Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació de la Generalitat de Catalunya (2014SGR-1427). ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (author's final draft)

Which regulatory tools are best equipped on the national as well as European level to create functioning EU-wide electricity and gas market infrastructures, as well as address the urgent need to make grids fit for the future? This issue looks at three topics that describe current trends in energy grids regulation. Firstly, it looks at the question whether and how the EU should be involved in the electricity and natural gas transmission grid tarification, to allow for fair competition and the right investment signals. Secondly, the issue looks at the significant role offshore wind farms play for the accomplishment of the EU energy and climate objectives and the possible EU policy actions that could support the investment in offshore wind farms as well as their connection to the grid. Thirdly, the issue proposes a cost- benefit method to evaluate and compare electricity transmission and storage projects in the context of the recently adopted Energy Infrastructure Package.

Durch den Übergang in Smart Grids erhalten Stromnetze die notwendige Flexibilität, um auf die steigende Volatilität der Stromversorgung zu reagieren. Das standardisierte Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modell und die Use-Case-Methodik dienen dabei als Rahmen, um Smart Grids zu entwickeln. Ein methodischer Rahmen für den Aufbau von Industrial Smart Grids fehlt derzeit noch, ist aber besonders notwendig, um Energieflexibilitätsmaßnahmen für Industrieanlagen umzusetzen. Der hier vorgestellte methodische Ansatz liefert eine Blaupause für den Aufbau eines Industrial Smart Grid für Energieflexibilität. Mithilfe der Anpassung des Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modells und der Use-Case-Methodik wird ein Industrial-Smart-Grid-Architecture-Modell umgesetzt.
 
Through their transition into Smart Grids, electrical power grids gain the neccesary flexibiltiy to respond to increasing electrical supply volatility. The standardized Smart Grid Architecture Model and Use Case Methodology serve as framework to develop Smart Grids. Currently, there is still a lack of such a methodical framework for setting up Industrial Smart Energy Grids and it is particularly necessary to implement energy flexibility measures in industrial plants. The methodical approach presented here provides a blueprint for building an Industrial Smart Grid for energy flexibility by adapting the Smart Grid Architecture Model and the use case methodology .

The integration of renewable energy resources into the electricity grid presents an important challenge. This book provides a review and analysis of the technical and policy options available for managing variable energy resources such as wind and solar power. As well as being of value to government and industry policy-makers and planners, the volume also provides a single source for scientists and engineers of the technical knowledge gained during the 4-year RenewElec (renewable electricity) project at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Vermont, Vermont Law School, and the Van N.

Renewable energy integration focuses on renewable energy generation, renewable energy production, energy conservation, thermal technology, and demand for response to the distribution and transmission system. The systems approach is used to make integration and demonstration improvements to address technical, economic, regulatory and institutional barriers to the use of renewable and distributed systems. The broad objective of this project is to design, demonstrate and monitor to build integrated renewable energy technologies appropriate for local conditions. Renewable energy technology will be used in various types of buildings, currently being given maximum power at the government level in India. The project will contribute to various global initiatives in areas to reduce climate change, urban development, and improve resource efficiency.
