The following work flow diagram illustrates the overall
work package organisation: the key feature is the iterative nature of the
work flow, required to reach the various RTD players in Europe.
The work packages are organized as follows:
WP1, WP2, WP3: collect
without any filtering the knowledge gaps required to meet the ETN 2020
vision;
WP4: based on 4 possible scenarios for energy demand in Europe,
four roadmaps are produced to meet the vision orientations and/or to adjust
it;
WP5: sets the rules for project risk evaluation (both technological
and financial) and project funding at national or EU level;
WP6: provides the final RTD roadmap for invariant RTD topics
to be launched, irrespective of the future energy scenarios for Europe;
WP7: provides a proposal for an autonomous and permanent RTD
European Power Grid Research Organization together with its funding mechanisms
to launch RTD actions;
WP8: implements dissemination actions to reach the critical
size of players to perform the RTD tasks.
The work packages have been lumped together to address the following specific
sub objectives:
Sub objective
Sub objective description
Work package description
01
To define the knowledge that lacks to support a collective vision
of the performance upgrades required by the European Transmission Network
in 2020
WP1 Demand pull knowledge and related RTD needs
WP2 Policy
pull or push RTD needs
WP3 Technology
push RTD needs
02
To delineate the candidate roadmaps which will support the underlying
RTD work load required to meet the above needs
WP4 Technology roadmap build up
03
To define, within these RTD roadmaps, the share of RTD work which
will need joint and coordinated work at a European level and at the
various national levels
WP5 Coordination priorities at national and European levels
04
To propose scenarios for an autonomous and permanent RTD European
Power Grid Research Organisation together with its funding mechanisms
which will support the coordinated part of the work at a European level,
in coherence with what will remain funded at national level
WP6 Roadmap convergence to bridge the knowledge gaps
WP7 European
Power Grid Research Organisation and its funding needs and mechanisms
to implement the roadmap
05
To reach a collective conviction about RTD performance and coordination
of a majority of key players (TSO, research organisations, National
Authorities and clients of the TSO) which will support the enhancement
of an optimized European power transmission network
WP8 Dissemination of results in view of reaching a large consensus
on RTD needs and funding
