ELECTRA invited to the C/sells Partners meeting
Munchen (DE) on 19th January 2018
Luciano Martini as ELECTRA Coordinator has been invited to present the activities and the main results of the ELECTRA IRP and in particular the highly relevant web-of cells concept (WoC) during the bi-annual Partners meeting of the C/sells project.
This contribution represents an additional steps towards a practical cooperation path between the C/sells project and the ELECTRA IRP / EERA JP on Smart Grids that was established during the workshop held in Stuttgart in October 2017.
The C/sells project is part of the funding programme "Smart Energy Showcases – Digital Agenda for the Energy Transition" (SINTEG) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and is committed to find new approaches for a future energy system in the southern German states.
Owing to the pretty similar "cellular grid approach", this participation aimed at laying foundations for a future fruitful cooperation in view of several future joint initiatives.
As a follow up, the C/sells Coordinator Dr. Albrecht Reuter will deliver a keynote speech during the ELECTRA Final Meeting to be held in Milano, on 21st – 22nd February 2018.
