Konstantin Staschus and Sophie Dourlens will present the new ETIP SNET Implementation Plan (IP) 2017-2020 which is to be released on 5 October 2017
The Implementation Plan aims at listing the short-term priorities for R&I in ETIP SNET’s scope and as defined by the action 4 of the EU’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan: Increase the resilience, security and smartness of the energy system. It is based upon the ETIP-SNET R&I roadmap 2017-2026 which specifies the long-term R&I activities for the evolution of the European energy system and published in January 2017.
The Implementation Plan is the result of a long and comprehensive stakeholders consultation process which makes it widely recognised by all the European energy transition stakeholders.

3. The European energy policies – brief reminder
Main drivers of energy policies of the European Union (EU)
1. reduce GHG emissions,
2. security of supply and,
3. economic growth.
28 countries with different energy systems + Energy Community countries
Legal framework: the energy packages (EP)
• directives addressing the unbundling of the energy sector (gas and electricity) [1st EP, 90s],
• directives addressing the promotion of renewables and cross-border electricity exchanges + update
of the rules for the energy markets [2nd EP early 2000s],
• specific directives updating the common rules for the internal market in electricity and gas [3rd EP,
2009],
• Recast of the existing directives and regulations for putting energy efficiency first, achieving global
leadership in renewable energies and providing a fair deal for consumers [Clean Energy for all
Europeans package, 2016].
4. The European energy policies
The energy system has changed deeply and will keep changing:
• Many market players at wholesale and increasingly retail level: customers, prosumers, DER, generators,
traders, retailers, service providers, aggregators
• TSOs, DSOs, NRAs, ENTSO-E, ENTSOG, ACER, NEMOs/PXs
• Continued strong price drops in PV, wind, batteries
• Increasing sector coupling focus for decarbonisation of entire energy system (Paris COP 21)
• Digitalisation, platforms, the Energy Cloud, potential for peer-to-peer trading
An integrated European energy market,
• to best handle temporary, regional power surpluses and deficits due to fluctuating RES,
• provide consumers choice of suppliers and contracts for secure, sustainable and affordable energy,
which creates intensive R&I needs for the power system
• On markets and governance
• On digitalisation
• On flexibility and system integration with improved sector interfaces
• On the components of a flexible integrated system, i.e. transmission, distribution, storage, flex generation.
5. 2015: Energy Union – Priorities
• Energy security, solidarity and trust
• A fully integrated European energy market
• Energy Efficiency (EE) first
• Transition to a low-carbon society
• Research, Innovation and Competitiveness

29. High-RES and empowered end-user energy system:
governance and market design
Organization of the operations of the energy system, associated interactions between the different
stakeholders and market rules (integration of renewables and empowering prosumers)
o Topic 1: a more efficient IEM accounting for grid flexibility, market integration of RES and
associated services, and explicit modelling of uncertainties to increase cross-border exchange
o Topic 2: flexibility market concept that allows the trading of ‘heterogeneous’ flexibility products
(coupling electricity, heat and gas markets, both at the wholesale and retail level)
o Topic 3: solutions to re-organize the respective roles and interactions of all stakeholders of the
energy system, and define the technical interfaces
30. Focus on topic 2: heterogeneous flexibility
products
Specific challenge
o New flexibility (energy storage, cross-border interconnectors, EVs, DR, interfaces between energy networks , etc.)
products to be introduced in the balancing market.
o New design allowing the trading of the different flexibility products, especially different energy markets (electricity,
gas and, where existing, heat) when there is a conversion in the energy carriers (e.g. P2G).
o Facilitate and increase the liquidity of the flexibility market and increase the demand for flexibility, all
heterogeneous flexibility users and products to be combined under a new flexibility market concept.
Target TRL: 3-5
Estimated budget: 10 M€
Expected outcomes
o Expected project outputs are flexibility market concept ready for integration and implementation within the current
energy markets across the EU.
31. Digitalisation of the energy system
Smart networks, thanks to a full digitalization of the power system (energy system) allow the enhanced monitoring,
automation and control of the existing networks while ensuring that all involved stakeholders can interact
o Topic 4: overview of the development of a suitable ICT infrastructure, data availability and common
standards for data exchange which will help to connect efficiently network operators and market players
o Topic 5: design and the demonstration of specific ICT solutions for market players
o Topic 6: design and demonstration of specific ICT solution, with the associated business models, allowing
the end-users’ participation in energy markets
o Topic 7 : specify and demonstrate for the future energy system the digital technologies ensuring system
reliability
32. Digitalisation of the energy system
The full digitalisation of the energy system will bring new opportunities (e.g. Internet of Things -IoT) and
challenges (e.g. cybersecurity) which are addressed in two topics:
o Topic 8: how to make use of IoT and data mining techniques (big data) to develop smart asset
management strategies;
o Topic 9: assess in depth cybersecurity issues and propose solutions so as to maintain the system
robust against possible cyber threats.
33. Focus on topic 8: Big Data, IOT and IIOT
Specific challenge
o Identification of possibilities, digital issues and market opportunities related to big data and IOT and the
energy system
Target TRL: 5-9
Estimated budget: 20 M€
Expected outcomes:
o Understanding and development of technologies, related to Big data, IOT , IIOT and interfaces, enabling full
functioning smart grid system
34. Integrated grid with improved interfaces
between energy system components
Synergies between electricity and heat systems
Synergies between electricity and gas
Synergies between electricity transmission
networks, generation and storage
Synergies between electricity distribution
networks and their interfaces
Coupling between flexible generation and
storage
35. Synergies between electricity and heat systems. Focus on
topic 11: Increase energy efficiency by utilising excess heat
from other processes via heat networks and thermal storage
Specific challenge
o More excess heat is being wasted around Europe from power plants, industry, and waste incineration than
required to heat all buildings in Europe. Only a small amount of this excess heat is currently being utilised
(~10%). The aim of topic 11 is to create projects that accelerate the use of excess heat and by doing so, replace
the use of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas.
Target TRL: 4-6
Estimated budget: 10 M€
Expected outcomes
o Energy and carbon dioxide savings by replacing fossil fuels with excess and renewable heat
o Improved security of supply due to a reduction of fossil fuel imports
o Faster deployment of proven thermal storage technologies by identifying, designing, and promoting new
projects around Europe
36. Synergies between electricity and gas
Focus on topic 12: coupling of electricity and
gas sectors
Specific challenge
o The existing gas network could become obsolete (decreasing demand from households). Instead of dismantling in
some cases, the challenge is to find a new role of the existing network as part of a Power-to-gas solution (methane,
hydrogen, etc.) which offers an additional coupling between energy sectors and which has significant benefits in
terms of increased renewable integration, flexibility options, optimized operation, long-term large-scale storage
possibilities
Target TRL: 4-8
Estimated budget: 30 M€
Expected outcomes
o Estimation of market size, opportunities
o Economic and technical feasibility
o Business models
o Demonstration of this type of storage. Network operators can use the results to promote generation with storage,
so the investments in the electricity grid can be reduced
37. Improved components of
the energy system
Joint transmission and distribution issues
Transmission networks
Distribution networks
38. Focus on topic 21: Smart asset management using innovative
hardware and software
Specific challenge
o Assets are exposed to new operating conditions and patterns. Maintenance becomes key to ensure the proper
performance of the assets and improve each of the four link in the value chain: 1) lifetime prediction modelling, 2)
definition of new and reliable monitoring systems, 3) specifying and developing new workable frameworks and 4)
demonstrating implementation, scaling up and replication at effective cost.
Target TRL: 6-8
Estimated budget: 14 M€
Expected outcomes
o New approaches for extending lifetime of existing power components based on improved monitoring,
measurements and models to determine their health and remaining lifetime in the future
o Novel approaches for managing critical assets based on probabilistic risk assessment and optimization of
maintenance planning
39. Focus on topic 26: Cross-border use of ancillary and flexibility
services
Specific challenge
o The cross-border use of ancillary and flexibility
services plays a key role in the most cost effective
way since they increase system’s stability ensuring
at the same time a smoother transition to the large
penetration of RES.
Target TRL: 5-8
Estimated budget: 10 M€
Expected outcomes
o New market-design proposal, prototypes, and simulation tools.
o Demonstration of effective solutions for cross-border exchange of ancillary services.
40. Focus on topic 29: Innovative approach for grid operation
Specific challenge
o Smart meter roll-out will result in the collection of large amounts of data that can enhance grid operation on one
side and will necessitate large adaptation of information systems on the other side. In addition to this, electronics
industry offers innovative solutions that can improve grid operation optimising network flexibility and facilitating
the integration of renewable generation on distribution networks.
Target TRL: 5-8
Estimated budget: 40 M€
Expected outcomes
o Demonstration of benefits (operational, planning) thanks to improved data analytics (AI, machine learning…) and
data collection and processing
o Tools to adequately process big data and related architecture
o Execution of pilot projects with field test environments including the implementation of platforms in real life trials
o Increased distribution system flexibility, stability and security achieved also through improved system design

42. Focus on topic 31: Advanced energy storage technologies for
energy and power applications
Specific challenge
o Energy storage technologies for energy and power applications, such as balancing, seem to be still far to meet
technical and economic targets. The principal challenges to focus on are: identify use cases of storage in the various
services it may provide to the grid, cost competitive energy storage technology, validated reliability and safety,
equitable regulatory environment.
Target TRL: 4-8
Estimated budget: 30 M€
Expected outcomes
o Demonstrations in an operational environment
o Energy storage solutions to be broadly deployed for decarbonising the European economy and ensuring the
energy transition
43. Focus on topic 33: Developing the next generation of flexible
thermal power generation
Specific challenge
o Component improvements
o Improved operational flexibility
o Overall performance improvements (efficiency and emissions) at part load
o Enhanced thermal power plant robustness (reduce maintenance and repair costs)
o Enable multi fuel operation
o Novel monitoring and control
o Digitization
Target TRL: 3-7
Estimated budget: 65 M€
Expected outcomes
o Technology developments and/or pilot or plant demonstration of thermal power plant flexibility improvement
achieved by candidate hardware adaptations and control system up-grades. Projects could also provide
recommendations on best practices for new plans in the future.
44. Focus on topic 35: Improved flexibility and service capabilities of
RES to provide the necessary ancillary services
Specific challenge
o Improvement of renewable generators for better adaptation for provision of ancillary services
o New control strategies with support services like storage and manageable RES
o Instability mitigation of RES, new strategies to define stability criteria in future scenarios
o Investigate different energy mix configurations to ensure electrical system stability
o Communication protocols with storage systems with PEC
Target TRL: 3-6
Estimated budget: 25-30 M€
Expected outcomes
o RES generators supporting the path towards a 100% RES electrical system with ancillary services provided by
RES while ensuring the stability and reliability of the grid.
