Smart5Grid kickoff meeting

The project will investigate the implementation of 5G connectivity in Energy sector, by developing 4 demonstrators in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Greece, for testing different applications in energy industry and Smart Grids. Besides that, the project will also develop a framework to facilitate the development of NetAPPs, fostering the access to new markets for SMEs.
Capturing Flexibility in Local Energy Systems Workshop
Canada, with ISGAN Annex 6, is hosting a public workshop titled “Capturing flexibility from local energy systems,” inviting participants to explore the role distributed energy resources (loads, storage devices, and small generation) will have in a deeply decarbonised, next generation smart grid.
Webinar: Extracting value from data sharing for RES forecasting: Privacy aspects and data monetization

17 Dec 2020 @ 14:00 CET
Duration: 1h
Recent works in renewable energy sources (RES) forecasting, have shown the interest of using spatially distributed time series and assumed that data could be gathered centrally and used, either at the RES power plant level, or at the level of a system operator. However, data is distributed in terms of ownership, limitation in data transfer capabilities and with agents being reluctant to share their data anyway.
The goal of this presentation is to rethink those learning problems by reformulating them as distributed learning problems and exploring two paradigms: privacy-preserving analytics and data markets. It will start by presenting the paradigm of collaborative RES forecasting and the challenges to implement a privacy layer for data from multiple owners. Then, the different algorithmic solutions for that data markets are discussed together with its applicability to RES forecasting. In this context, agents will be incentivized to collaborate, either through monetization of data or a privacy protocol for data exchange. This Webinar is proposed by the European H2020 Smart4RES project (http://www.smart4RES.eu)

Workshop on enforced international and national knowledge exchange

Based on the experiences from various projects and work within ISGAN annexes, a workshop was organised by the ISGAN KTP Team at the virtual ExCo 20 week in October 2020. The challenge addressed in this workshop was the barriers for knowledge flow and engagement between stakeholders at national level with the international level, and vice versa.
ExCo20 ISGAN Annex 6 side event, 29 October 2020

During the 20th meeting of the ISGAN Excecutive Committee , ISGAN Annex 6 Power Transmission & Distribution Systems hosted a side event that showcased the recent work done within the Annex.
20th ISGAN Executive Committee Meeting (ExCo20)

Between 27th and 29th of October, ISGAN community marked it’s 20th Executive Committee Meeting. The successful meeting was held online overcoming the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic evolving around ISGAN’s strategy and work programme for 2020 and beyond.
Webinar: Local flexibility solutions leveraged by RD&I projects as system stability solutions

The presentation will shortly provide an introduction to flexibility solutions, focused on DSO and demand side innovative service enabling solutions This introduction is followed by the presentation of ATTEST and INTERRFACE as example of RD&I projects where these flexibility solutions are being developed at an European level.
Webinar: Interpreter flexibility needs at system level

Introduction to flexibility solutions, which can be used to increase efficiency in power systems. The solutions considered for the webinar are network level solutions. This introduction is followed by the presentation of FlexPlan and CoordiNet as example of RD&I projects where flexibility solutions are being developed to change the power system landscape.
