The H2020 Transmission Grids Projects Clustering Workshop, organized by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA), took place virtually on 2nd December 2020. The goal of this clustering activity was the analysis of the efforts by different H2020 projects on Electricity Transmission Grids to define TSO-DSO collaboration schemas. In the course of the workshop, UBITECH Energy presented FARCROSS project that promotes state-of-the art technologies to enhance the exploitation, capacity and efficiency of transmission grid assets, either on the generation or the transmission level.
In particular, Mr. Anastasios Tzoumpas, as FARCROSS technical coordinator, presented the project’s concept, as well as the technical challenges, the research activities and expected scientific impact of FARCROSS project. Then, an extensive discussion took place on ideas for possible further joint activities between projects that belong in the same thematic areas, such as AC-DC hybrid grids, TSO-DSO cooperation, and cross-border power exchanges. Finally, all workshop participants agreed on potential synergies and opportunities for future actions.
