Description
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action funds collaborative projects to develop and demonstrate advanced digital solutions, architectures, and processes for electricity distribution management systems (ADSM). The goal is to enhance the efficiency, flexibility, reliability, and interoperability of distribution grids, enabling better integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), advanced analytics, forecasting, and cybersecurity. Projects must deliver vendor-agnostic, open, and interoperable ADSM platforms and tools, leveraging technologies such as digital twins and artificial intelligence, and demonstrate their effectiveness through pilots in multiple European countries.
