Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADSM) for more efficient and flexible distribution grids

About

Opens for applications on 2027-08-04. A European Commission call for proposals. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: Enhanced reliability, resilience, controllability and efficiency of electricity distribution grids. Congestion in distribution grids is managed effectively; Distribution system operators (DSO) leverage modern digital solutions and employ improved systems to effectively manage their grids and improve interoperability with TSOs and other DSOs; Vendor-agnostic reference architectures, solutions and tools are developed to help advancing the ADSM design and operation and effectively manage a broad range of grid services. Scope: Projects are expected to address all the following items: Design and test innovative solutions, architectures, technologies and processes for advancing the way the ADSM are designed and operated; Provide ADSM software platforms that improve grid performance, controllability, and help integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) in an efficient way, while reducing congestion and improving grid flexibility; Advance forecasting solutions for energy supply, demand, and flexibility made available to the system operator; provide advanced analytics and visualisations;
