SynGRID | Creating synergies in Widening countries on the topic of low-voltage grid management

Original description

SynGRID project aims to enhance institutional and regional innovation in Widening countries through the capitalisation of outcomes from completed Horizon 2020 and ongoing Horizon Europe projects. The combination of valorisation of research results with the focus on enhancing the management, observability and controllability of low-voltage grids considering the increased integration of Renewable Energy Sources, will be combined with the transparent sharing of the know-how to foster stronger collaborations between renowned research and innovation institutions and HE beneficiaries in Croatia, Greece and Slovenia. The outcome of the international collaboration will be materialised in a joint ERDF, HE and LIFE project proposals that will aim to bridge the gap between European and regional funding mechanisms.

To unlock the full potential of R&I actors, the SynGRID project will employ a multi-faceted capacity-building strategy supported by a comprehensive analysis, encompassing a review of validated research outcomes from Horizon projects and an assessment of the current technology landscape in Croatia, Greece, and Slovenia to identify areas requiring intervention. SynGRID will engage key stakeholders including DSOs, regional authorities, SMEs in the energy sector, and research institutions.

The backbone of knowledge sharing is structured around key projects like H2020 – COMPILE and X-FLEX, as well as HE – STREAM and OPENTUNITY, where partners served as coordinators or technical coordinators offering advanced insights into the topic of optimised grid reinforcement and advanced controllability to enable large share of RES in the existing, congested DSO grid together with algorithms for fair sharing of limited capacity.
