Storage-Enabled Sustainable Energy for Buildings and Communities

InteGrid

The InteGrid project aims to test on the field innovative solutions of smart grids based on three pillars: flexible power consumption for domestic and industrial consumers, energy storage systems and forecasts for the production of renewable energy and consumption. InteGrid will install five smart grid demonstrators - 3 in Portugal, one in Sweden and one in Slovenia. INESC TEC is the technical coordinator of this project.

Centres

Power and Energy Systems

INESC TEC’s main actor in the energy field is the Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES), which falls within the Cluster Energy Systems. We at CPES are internationally recognised for our expertise in the integration of renewable energy in power systems, distributed generation, storage, smart grids and areas traditionally associated with the planning and operation of power systems. The high level of expertise developed has allowed our experts at CPES to take on key roles in important EU projects as part of the successive framework programmes that led to notable scientific and technical advances with considerable impact on industry. This has led to contracts for development and consultancy with companies manufacturing equipment and with generation, transmission and distribution companies, regulators, government agencies and investors in Europe, South America, the United States of America and Africa. At CPES, we address the following main research areas: Decision Making, Optimisation and Computational Intelligence, Forecasting, Static and Dynamic analysis of Energy Grids, Reliability, Power Electronics.
