The analysis made in this study is grounded on the smart grid projects database of the Joint Research Centre (European Commission). The European smart grid projects are analyzed among others in terms of: number, countries, duration and collaboration. Additionally, an analysis is done regarding the annual number of starting and concluded/planned to be concluded projects, the total number of participants per year, the distribution of smart grid applications per stage of development, year and EU country and an overview of the investments in the European smart grid projects is provided. Afterwards a forecast is done regarding the number of projects. As a result of graphical and predictive analyses, many essential inferences are achieved related to the current status and the anticipated short-term trends of smart grid projects.

The developed model simulates six different modules (a photovoltaic array, a Li-ion battery storage system, a small wind turbine, a diesel generator, a laboratory load and the connection point with the grid). The modules are connected radially at a common bus.

Particular attention is paid to different specific technical, economic and environmental features of these power electronics-based devices. Final aim of the paper is the investigation of the role that FACTS and HVDC may play towards the development of the future pan-European transmission system.

This can be realised by providing efficient, secure and reliable systems, connecting distributed renewable energy sources and enabling advanced services. The analysis of those potential benefits should consider all the components of the smart grids from the energy sources to the consumers, including the communication and power flows within the system. This study aims to analyse how to reach an efficient energy use with different means (e.g. better management of the energy consumption rate, consumption forecast, and central energy orientation providing the capabilities of smart homes, communication links and electricity grid management centres. To this end, architecture of a small smart grid system including a novel smart home, communication and energy lines, and a small home energy management centre is studied in this paper. Such architecture is envisaged to have a substantial impact on the operation and management of future electricity network addressing issues such as efficient integration of renewable power sources and emerging consumer behaviour.

The present paper results from some activities carried out within the European research project REALISEGRID, dealing with numerous transmission planning issues. After introducing the European context and reviewing the current transmission planning process and practices in Europe, this paper focuses on the methodology developed to perform the cost-benefit analysis of new grid investments in a pan-European perspective. Some key results of the methodology application on a European transmission network test-bed are also part of the paper.
