Smart Grid Projects - DNV Kema

24ProjectDLC+VIT4IP is using the Internet Protocol to develop and verify a high-speed, narrow-bandPLC infrastructure, which is capable of supporting existing applications and extending new,multiple communication applications. On the application side, the IP is increasingly used inmany supervisory and control application fields, including the energy sector. The approach isused for the existing power distribution network and for novel services in smart electricitydistribution networks (e.g., demand-side management, control of distributed generation andcustomer integration). The solution developed by the project will be verified in test fields. Theproject is expected to yield a prototype for a high-performance communications infrastructure,simulation and planning tools, and testing and conformance rules to enable applicationdevelopers and users to choose appropriate technologies for their needs. Many of theseproducts will be used for standardization.Project coordinatorn KEMA, the NetherlandsProject partnersn Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austrian Devolo, Germanyn Israel Electric Corporation, Israeln HW Communications, United Kingdomn iAd Gesellschaft für Informatik, Automatisierung und Datenverarbeitung, Germanyn Lancaster University, United Kingdomn Technische Universität Dresden, Germanyn Consortio per la Ricerca nell’Automatica e nelle Telecommunicationi (UoR), Italyn Yitran Communication, Israeln Vlaaamse Instelling voor Technologisch Onderzoek, Belgiumn Vattenfall Europe Netzservice, GermanyProject detailsn EU Seventh Framework Programn Duration: January 2010 – December 2012
