The objectives of inteGRIDY are as follows:

• Integrate innovative smart grid technologies, enabling optimal and dynamic operation of the distribution system’s assets within high grid reliability and stability standards
• Validate innovative Demand Response (DR) technologies and relevant business models
• Utilize storage technologies and their capabilities to relieve the DG and enable significant avoidance of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) curtailment, enhancing self-consumption and net metering
• Enable interconnection with transport and heat networks, forming Virtual Energy Network synergies ensuring energy security
• Provide modeling & profiling extraction for network topology representation, innovative DR mechanisms and storage characterization, facilitating decision-making in DG’s operations
• Provide predictive, forecasting tools & scenario-based simulation, facilitating an innovative Operations Analysis Framework
• Develop new business and services to create value for distribution domain stakeholders and end users/prosumers in an emerging electricity market.
