OPTIMISING THE ENERGY SYSTEM: THE CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH

M. de Nigris Director T&D Technologies – RSE SpA

FROM SMART GRIDS TO SMART ENERGY SYSTEM SUPPLY

OPTIMISATION OF THE ENERGY SYSTEM IS BEST BALANCE

CONVERSION TRANSPORT FINAL USE OF ENERGY PLANNING

OPTIMISATION ACHIEVED THROUGH

OPERATION MONITORING CONTROL (INFORMATION)

SMART GRIDS: KERNEL OF OPTIMISATION STARTING FROM THE POWER/INFORM.

CROSS SECTORAL BY DEFINITION ENABLING FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT TARGETS

INTEGRATION WITH OTHER ENERGY CARRIERS IN HOLISTIC APPROACH

TRANSVERSAL SCENARIOS COORDINATED PLANNING SYNERGIES AND COMPLEMENTARITY

REFERENCE STAKEHOLDERS FOR RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN ADDRESSING I.R. PRIORITIES GRID CONCEPT STORAGE SMART CITIES COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH PUBLIC AUTHORITIES , GOVERNMENT, AND GENERAL PUBLIC. INTERDISCIPLINARITY IS KEY TO SUCCESS.

FLEXIBILITY COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH REGULATORS TO EVALUATE NEW BUSINESS MODELS, DETERMINING BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES. CONSIDER ALL OPTIONS: DR, EV, FLEXGEN, HEAT PUMPS, GAS ETC. COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS TO VALIDATE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS. INVESTIGATE NEW WORKING PATHS IN SEARCH OF BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS. CONSIDER CROSS-TECHNOLOGY IN A GLOBAL ENERGY CONTEXT .

COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH NETWORK OPERATORS , GOING BEYOND THE STATE OF THE ART, PROPOSE NEW METHODS (PLANNING, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE ETC.), DEVELOP SENSORS AND LOCAL INTELLIGENCE AND STIMULATE CROSS-VECTORS APPROACHES

THE BIG CHALLENGE

• • • • • • DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF DIFFERENT SECTORS IS MOSTLY

INTERNAL

ACTORS OF EACH SECTOR FOCUSED ON

INTERNAL OPTIMISATION

OVERALL APPROACH MAY

NOT

FELT AS OWN

RESPONSIBILITY

BE BY ANY OF THE ACTORS HOLISTIC APPROACH MUST INITIALLY BE MOTIVATED BY

POLICY

SECTORS FIND BUSINESS INTEREST AT A

LATER STAGE

RESEARCH COMMUNITY IS BEST PLACED TO

TRIGGER THE HOLISTIC APPROACH

COMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURES – STANDARDS - REQUIREMENTS DATA MINING – BIG DATA – SMART METERING – LOAD FORECAST INTERDEPENDENCY – DEPENDABILITY - SECURITY CYBER SECURITY – PRIVACY – CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

• • • PRESENT INNOVATION IS BASED ON

DEMONSTRATORS SCALING UP AND REPLICATION

OF RESULTS IS KEY FOR THE SUCCESS –

RESEARCH

ON METHODS IS OPEN AND URGENT; • IMPLIES A

MULTISECTORAL VIEW

EXCEEDING THE INTERESTS OF SINGLE PLAYERS (POWER, TLC, • REGULATION, SOCIAL ETC.);

COST-BENEFITS ANALYSIS

IS VERY DEPENDENT ON THE

BOUNDARIES

CONSIDERED AND MAY LEAD TO CONTRADICTORY RESULTS. NEED TO CONSIDER THE

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND INTERESTS

EVEN IF CONFLICTING: INDEPENDENT APPROACH THE

ACCESS TO DATA

IS CRUCIAL: BASE CASES, SOLUTIONS FUNCTIONALITIES, COSTS, CONSTRAINTS – COLLABORATIVE EFFORT!

SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES OF RESEARCH IN IMPLEMENTING THE ROADMAP NETWORKING, INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION, SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

CONCLUSIONS

Energy in the Research

RESEARCH COMMUNITY IS A KEY PLAYER IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN ENERGY INTEGRATED ROADMAP. IN ADDITION TO THE SPECIFIC CAPACITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION, THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY OFFERS A FRESH, NON BIASED AND OVERARCHING LOOK AT THE ENTIRE ENERGY SYSTEM.

HORIZON 2020 SHOULD FOSTER THIS SPECIFICITY DEVOTING TO RESEARCH AN ADEQUATE ROLE AND SPACE.
