More information
The INTEGRIS (INTelligent Electrical GRId Sensor Communications) project, which has the objective of designing and developing a robust and flexible communications infrastructure that is able to obtain and efficiently channel in real time all the information required by new electrical smart grids. The project, which has a 30 month duration and a budget of nearly five million euros (of which the European Commission is subsidising more than 60%), allows to optimally manage supply and demand,
as well as to minimise losses, improve asset management, and simplify the grid´s operation.
- Developing an infrastructure with a low roll-out cost.
- Analysis distributed system techniques.
- Feasibility of using cognitive system techniques.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no FP7-247938
