Smart Energy Networks Europe
Driving the development of future grids: automation, integration and innovation

A pan-European forum for smart grid development

Smart networks are a must for the future, with respect to both the transmission and distribution
networks. The challenge of integrating a steadily increasing amount of non dispatchable Renewable
Energy Sources imposes a thorough rethinking of transmission architecture and management of the
European transnational backbone. A significant expansion will also be necessary to allow the cross-
border electricity trade to dispose of sufficient liquidity and to create a truly pan-European Internal
Electricity Market. However, removing bottlenecks by building new lines is becoming more and more
difficult due to increasing environmental concerns and local opposition. Hence, it is necessary to put in
place a "smarter" management of the existing lines with the support of new technologies.

The broad scope of the Smart Energy Networks Europe conference will allow attendees to gain a
complete view of the drivers of smart grids and the solutions that are there to support this epocal
evolution. A good combination of keynote sessions and panel discussions will bring the public into the
debate, and contribute to making the event more stimulating.

Gianluigi Migliavacca, Head of Transmission Network Planning Research Group, ERSE

and Project Coordinator, REALISEGRID

Key topics to be addressed:

• Changing roles and responsibilities in regulated
energy networks

• Drivers for developing smarter, more flexible

low-carbon energy networks

• The challenge of integrating renewable and

distributed generation into the grid
• Operating, expanding and integrating
transmission networks for a Pan-European
energy market

• Improving and safeguarding the

performance and stability of networks

• Exploring the potential of smart grids: the role

for electric vehicles and home automation
“Europe is heading towards a new and greener
• Standards and interoperability: harmonising the
energy system. Fulfilling the EU targets on function of smart grids
renewables, greenhouse gas reduction and energy
efficiency puts the energy sector into one of the • Looking to the future: the changing energy supply

amount of big-scale and small-scale renewables
will be taken to the market and European citizens
will be much more active on the demand side. To
make this happen we need an effective grid
(transmission and distribution) to match supply and
demand in an environmentally friendly way. This is
what Smart Grids are about and this is what we will
discuss!"
