CINELDI: Centre for Intelligent Electricity Distribution - Similar companies

CINELDI is a research centre working towards digitalising and modernising the electricity distribution grid for higher effici ... ency, flexibility and resilience. The consumption and production of electricity is rapidly changing. This leads to changes in our relationship with electricity. Increased electrification of society means more demand, more connections, a more variable load from the increasing share of renewable generation and customers who play a more active part in the operation of the grid, i.e., you and me will consume, produce and store electricity to provide greater flexibility to the grid. To deal with these changes, our distribution grid will have to adapt into a digitised smart grid. Modernisation is required to give increased efficiency, flexibility and resilience of the grid. While modernisation brings new opportunities, it also poses risks to the security of electricity supply due to the increasing interdependencies with ICT-systems and increasing complexities Private companies, government organisations and research institutes come together in CINELDI to conduct the long-term, industry-driven research that is needed to make the necessary transformation of the grid, maximise these opportunities and mitigate against these risks. read more
