Focusing on the second direction of the European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI)[1], the SuSTAINABLE project developed and demonstrated a new operation paradigm, leveraging information from smart meters and short-term localized predictions to manage distribution systems in a more efficient and cost-effective way, enabling a large-scale deployment of variable distributed generation.[2] The project consisted of a consortium of eight partners from five EU countries, with two demonstration sites.[3]
