Scope

This Horizon Coordination and Support Action builds a European community of practice around tools and technologies for using data and analytics to plan, operate and maintain electricity grids with high shares of renewable energy.

Expected activities

• Coordinate key actors in energy value chains, such as grid operators, research and academia, technology providers, energy suppliers, energy service providers and consumer representatives.
• Cooperate with major European and international initiatives in this field.
• Create a European ecosystem of innovation hubs for digitalisation projects and experimentation.
• Showcase targeted cooperation between grid operators and research organisations.
• Build blueprints, methods and open-source repositories for simulation, observation, forecasting, asset management and decision-making that lower system operating costs.
• Promote digital twins and AI-enabled systems.

Expected outcomes

Stronger EU cooperation and knowledge sharing on grid data and analytics, coordinated planning and simulation tools, new open-source solutions in shared repositories, support for keeping research results FAIR after projects end, and wider open-source practice across the energy sector.

Further expectations

• Selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative.
