PANTERA-A Pan European Technology Energy Research Approach Towards Synergies Facilitation on Smart Grids

Abstract

The Energy transition is the pathway towards the decarbonisation of the energy system. Transformation of the European energy sector requires urgent action on a pan-European scale, and while a global energy transition is underway, further research actions and incentives for innovation are needed to deliver the smart grids concept and the RES integration under energy efficiency. For this reason, synergy work on national, regional and European level are pivotal in the development work of the Energy transition. Prerequisites for a smooth transition are: A solid R&I network for all countries, analytical knowledge of the R&I status, systematic information to all EU countries equally on how investments in smart grids can be beneficial and the means on how they achieve that. PANTERA aims to address at the same time all prerequisites and thus facilitate the synergy work in Europe by developing a multi-dimensional platform of pan-European status and influence, capable of leveraging coherence and trust as a pull towards enhanced R&I in energy systems centered around an integrated grid active and responsive.
