2 1 Foreword In 2012 the Europen Technology Pltform (ETP) for the Electricity Networks of the Future hs presented its updted Strtegic Reserch Agend (SRA 2035) on SmrtGrids. With the SRA 2035 the SG ETP gives detiled descriptions of longer term reserch nd innovtion ctivities, necessry for electricity networks nd intelligent electric systems y 2035 nd contriuting to the EU s envisioned CO2 reduction of minimlly 80% y In the SRA 2035, mny reserch topics hve een defined in vrious reserch res. No priorities hve een defined yet. This document Priorities mong SRA 2035 reserch topics gives focus on those SmrtGrids reserch topics which re considered s key priorities mong group of SmrtGrids experts. This document serves s input to the EU Frmework Progrmme for reserch nd innovtion Horizon 2020 strting in 2014 s well s other SmrtGrids RD&D inititives oth on ntionl nd Europen level.

3 36 Executive Summry: Priorities for SRA 2035 Reserch Topics With this document the SG ETP wnts to move forwrd nd support the mny stkeholders in reching their gols even more. The SG ETP ims to identify those SRA 2035 SmrtGrids reserch topics tht re long term. The gol is the estlishment of common understnding mong stkeholders nd put priority on them. Gol: Determine long term SRA 2035 SmrtGrids reserch topics, estlish common understnding mong experts, put priority on them The SG ETP intends to work out n implementtion pln for the long-term nd urgent SmrtGrids reserch res, covered in the SRA As prt of this process, the SG ETP stkeholders need to determine, 1) wht type of urgent reserch questions need to e hndled y 2) wht type of reserch stkeholders in 3) wht type of coopertion project. The plnned result is long-term SmrtGrids reserch implementtion pln to e revised periodiclly. Initilly, the SmrtGrids reserch community together with dvnced industril nd SME reserch will hve centrl roles in setting up this reserch pln. The other stkeholders, prticulrly Network Opertors ssocitions (ENTSO-E nd EDSO for Smrtgrids) nd the consumer nd ncillry service relted new service providers will need to pronounce their needs. Some of these needs will come from the experiences of the erly EEGI nd ntionl SmrtGrids projects, currently or soon underwy in Europe. The coordintion nd coopertion etween the reserchers in cdemi (sic nd pplied), in the System-Developing-Industry nd -SMEs is importnt to ensure tht ll necessry new requirements concerning long-term grid-sed system questions re ddressed. In Oct. 2012, the SG ETP hs initited SmrtGrids stkeholder process for nswering the following questions: Question 1: Which of the SRA 2035 reserch topics need to e elorted mong the SmrtGrids stkeholders in more detil to get n improved common understnding of wht results, projects, types of collortion re needed? Which of the SRA 2035 SmrtGrids reserch topics re of longer term interest? I.e. which topics need to e covered y fundmentl nd pplied reserch? These priority topics could lter e used s prt of EERA, TSO nd TSO/DSO plns. Three priority levels re used for SmrtGrids reserch topics: DRAFT: Setting Priorities Among SRA 2035 Reserch Topics Pge 2 of 34

Reserch in the two res cnnot e fully seprted. The re covering oth T nd D (i.e. T&D) hs een specified s su-re with explicit own self-stnding gols. Reserch re IS Integrted Systems dels with ll issues where specil seprtion is not possile etween distriution, trnsmission, consumer nd other stkeholders such s genertors, wholesle trders, lnce responsile groups, service providers nd ggregtors, etc. Reserch in this reserch re IS is necessry to stisfy the needs of ll stkeholders s n integrted group towrds truly sustinle, secure nd economic electricity system. Reserch Ares D nd T del with Distriution nd Trnsmission Grids relted reserch respectively to cover the needs of ll stkeholders for designing, uilding, operting nd mintining secure, sustinle nd economicl electricity system y 2035, including the interctions etween D nd T.

7 Both D nd T include reserch relted to interfces to other energy crriers nd storge devices. The optiml integrtion of ll electricity grid relted issues s the core energy system y 2035 is the primry gol. Both D nd T lso include reserch relted to ICT integrtion needs for smrt distriution nd trnsmission. Due to the incresed importnce of the ctive role of the consumer in SmrtGrids system y 2035 nd lter, new reserch re RC round the retil nd consumer s key stkeholders hs een estlished. Are RC includes reserch for the specific needs of the retil usiness nd consumers within nd for SmrtGrids. In ddition to these four core technology oriented SRA 2035 reserch res, re SE is seen s importnt for the overll SmrtGrids developments. It dels with the reserch relted to Socio- Economicl nd Ecosystem SmrtGrids rriers nd opportunities SmrtGrids SRA 2035 Reserch Tsks nd Topics For ech of the reserch res (RA), the SRA 2035 defines reserch tsks which re mpped to reserch res IS, D, T, T&D, RC nd SE.

For detils see, nnex I of this document nd the SRA 2035 itself Setting Priorities Between Oct nd 05 Dec 2012 (workshop in Berlin) the SG ETP hs undertken SmrtGrids stkeholder process for nswering the two questions mentioned in the executive summry of this document. These questions were initilly nswered y 12 experts nd discussed t workshop which took plce on 05 Decemer 2012 in Berlin 2. At the workshop the nswers to questions were used s input together with the expert opinions of those present t the meeting. The experts were divided into two groups: One group delt with the priority setting of the reserch res D (Distriution) nd RC (Retil nd Consumer), the other group determined priorities for the res IS (Integrted Systems) nd SE (Socio-Economic questions). Due to the fct tht ENTSO-E nd EDSO for Smrtgrids re undertking their own reserch gend nd in order to void duplicting efforts, res T nd T&D were not discussed t the meeting in Berlin. In the future, the SG ETP will hve criticl look t the reserch gends proposed y the two orgniztion to integrte lso the res T nd T&D with D, RC, IS nd SE with view towrds 2035 reserch topics going eyond those of the EEGI with its 2020 demonstrtion focus. The following prgrphs report on the conclusions of the two groups. Note tht the highest priority in ech of the four discussed reserch res IS, D, RC nd SE egin t numer 1.

Wht is the enling mrket infrstructure needed? Wht regultory frmeworks will mke electricity grids n enler of other services nd plyers? - Include these questions in technicl R&D projects (NOT seprte socio-something reserch on this issues). Give regultion high priority in R&D nd ddress these questions in technicl R&D projects. Involve experts from economics or similr in the projects. - Don t emphsize regultory reserch in own progrms or projects. - Policy nd socil scientists need to e prt of reserch in this reserch topic, together with technicl oriented cdemi nd industry. There is need to understnd how to prepre stkeholders for decisions tking into ccount energy socil responsiility concepts Summry nd Conclusions The experts hve determined cler priorities mong the mny topics proposed y the SRA In ddition, few topics minly in the Socio-Economic SmrtGrids reserch re hve een determined which re eyond the reserch scope to e treted y te SG ETP. The experts hve lso highlighted the need to summrize some of the SRA 2035 topics into fewer, etter grouped topics. Some of the redundncies minly towrds the socioeconomicl nd retil-nd consumer reserch topics need to e eliminted in future updtes of the SRA. Next, the SG ETP will need to interfce to the reserch rodmps of ENTSO-E nd EDSO for Smrtgrids in order to determine those topics which re not treted yet nd where reserch should focus even more. The SG ETP lso intends to formulte its own SmrtGrids reserch rodmp sed on the priorities worked out in this document. This will include the type of reserch stkeholders nd the type of type of coopertion projects needed for successful SmrtGrids reserch projects.
