The members of the Smart Energy Collective have approved the second phase of its smart grid initiative, which involves the development of five large-scale smart grid demonstration projects in the Netherlands.

The projects will be implemented at Schiphol airport, some offices of ABB and Siemens, and in residential districts in Gorinchem, Heerhugowaard, and Goes.

"We are globally evolving towards an energy system in which the share of sustainable energy will be many times higher, and in which electricity generation will be far more decentralized than it currently is," said Pier Nabuurs, chairman of the group's steering committee.

He added that the demand for electricity will rise, especially in countries with high economic growth such as China and India. The shift in fuel consumption will also contribute to the demand, due to the further introduction of electric vehicles and heat pumps.

"In order to make this possible, an intelligent energy system is required that uses a combination of innovative technologies and services," says Mr. Nabuurs. "This will enable us to keep the costs of our energy supply at a reasonable level with a comparably high level of reliability."

With these implementations, the group wants to provide an important impulse to standardization aside from wanting to test the smart grids in actual use.

A survey during the first phase showed that there are more than 6,000 relevant standards that play a role in the new technologies, in which according to the group, will be introduced to the market over the coming years.

Working groups have been established for standardization, market mechanisms, services and business cases, smart grids, privacy and security, and ICT infrastructure, in order to establish a solid foundation for the design of the five demonstration projects, as well as for future projects.

The Smart Energy Collective is a sector-transcending cooperation involving a wide range of companies working for smart energy and smart grid implementation. Members include: ABB, Alliander, APX Endex, BAM,DELTA, DNV KEMAEnergy & Sustainability, Efficient Home Energy, Eaton, Eneco, Enexis, Essent, GEN, Gemalto, Heijmans, IBM, ICT Automatisering, Imtech, KPN, Nedap, NXP Semiconductors, Philips, Priva, Siemens, Smart Dutch, Stedin and TenneT. – EcoSeed Staff
