Formed in June 2010, the so-called ‘Smart Grid Stakeholder Group’ (SGSG) is an open group of industrial players interested in the Smart Energy arena. Six meetings of the group were organised since it has been founded, and the number of participating organisations has grown to over 60 organisations.
Further developing the SGSG and organising the information exchange between the SGSG and the project is a major activity in FINSENY. A close link with the SGSG has been established to foster the information exchange between the whole European Energy and ICT community.
FINSENY organized the last 7th SGSG meeting that took place on 24th September 2012 in Siemens premises in Munich, Germany. The main topics of this meeting were to:
- Provide an overview on FINSENY’s approach and methodology
- Present the newest results from FINSENY’s scenarios Distribution Network, Microgrid, Smart Buildings, E-Mobility and Electronic Marketplace for Energy
- Provide an overview on the functional architecture of the FINSENY’s scenarios and present ideas on trial candidates
- Present results from other Smart Grid research projects like “OpenNode” and “RegModHarz” also by showing a demonstrator
- Illustrate first trial experiences on E-Mobility and Smart Metering in Ireland
- Provide feedback how FINSENY addressed the recommendations of the 6th SGSG Meeting
The objectives of this SGSG meeting were to update the community about the current status on the FINSENY scenarios with a special focus on functional architecture and trial candidates, the presentation of other Smart Grid activities in Europe and to provide room for discussions on early-trials in FI-PPP Phase 2 and other upcoming research opportunities.
