EU-SysFlex stands for pan-European system with an efficient coordinated use of flexibilities for the integration of a large share of renewables. The research project is financed from the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 under the call: H2020-LCE-2016-2017.
EU-SysFlex will carry out research into the deployment of renewable energy on electricity grids across Europe.
The project involves 34 organisations from 15 countries across Europe and includes electricity transmission system operators, distribution system operators, technology providers, manufacturers, universities and research centres.
The aim of the project is to create a long-term roadmap for the large-scale integration of renewable energy on electricity grids as well as providing practical assistance to power system operators across Europe. The project team will also identify improvements to European market design, regulation, operational practices and enhanced system tools.
EU-SysFlex is part of the BRIDGE, a European Commission initiative which unites Horizon 2020 Smart Grid and Energy Storage Projects to create a structured view of cross-cutting issues which are encountered in the demonstration projects and may constitute an obstacle to innovation.
