INTEGRIS: INTELLIGENT ELECTRICAL GRID SENSOR COMMUNICATIONS

INTEGRIS project proposes the development of a novel and flexible ICT infrastructure based on a hybrid Power Line Communication-wireless integrated communications system able to completely and efficiently fulfill the communications requirements foreseen for the Smart Electricity Networks of the future.

This includes encompassing applications such as monitoring, operation, customer integration, voltage control, quality of service control, control of Distributed Energy Resources and asset management and can enable a variety of improved power system operations, some of which are to be implemented in field trials that must proof the validity of the developed ICT infrastructure.

The INTEGRIS project will:

• Focus is on interoperability of the PLC, WSN and RFID
• The adequate management for complex and dynamic ICT system
• The research on the limits and benefits of distributing smart grid applications

The final aim of the INTEGRIS project is to provide an ICT system that enables the improvement of the performance of the electricity distribution grid in agreement with the impact foreseen in the work program.
