RELIANCE is a Coordination Action of the European transmission network research activities. The project is funded by the European Commission Sixth Research and Technological Development Framework Programme.
Background
- Implementation of a European Electricity Market
- Wider network problems due to energy supply diversification
- Needs for shaping up the existing Power System research capacities
- Needs to expand the exchange of information and collaboration
between European electricity network operators
Our team
Multidisciplinary team composed by 8 TSO’s, Generators, DSO, Expert companies, Research Centres and Universities
Our objectives
Identify the challenges to be faced by the European
transmission system up to 2030
Identify and prioritize the research needs that require collaboration
between European TSO’s and other stakeholders
Evaluate the potential impacts of the innovative solutions
for all the electricity system stakeholders
Design collectively a research roadmap
and assess its implementation risks
Quantify the research efforts that have a demonstrable European impact
Propose an appropriate framework leading to an independent permanent
European research organisation for electricity transmission networks
Design funding schemes based on private-public partnerships
Disseminate the project outputs through a European
Conference to be held around mid 2007
Keep including other stakeholders in this process
(TSO’s, public authorities, users of the electrical system,
Manufacturers and other RTD providers)
