Europe
The platform for cooperative energy research across the Nordics, Nordic Energy Research, worked with TSOs in the region to define research and development needs and launch an open call for funding proposals to achieve the needs of the TSOs. By working together at the Nordic level, research costs are lower, and the impacts of innovation are broader in scope.
Highlights
01
Funded the REDISET project to develop system designs and resilience criteria for different types of critical events in collaboration with involved need owners.
02
Allows for direct interaction between the need-owners, the research communities, and the technology providers.
Main Information
To build power systems capable of handling a much larger proportion of unregulated and volatile production, the risk of cyber-attacks, more HVDC-links, increased loads, higher infrastructure costs, and public resistance to new infrastructure, Nordic Energy Research has begun an open call for funding proposals with very specific eligibility requirements.
Nordic Energy Research works with Nordic TSOs to define their research and development needs. These needs are then translated into open calls for funding proposals, the winners of which will have a direct impact on TSO operations. So far, one project has been funded as part of the NordGrid Programme, with the aim to annualise the call for proposals.
