DERri is a EU collaborative research project under the FP7 research programme. It aims at the enhancement and the effective deployment of experimental infrastructures in support of the research on the Distributed Energy Resources integration in the EU energy system. As many as 16 European Institutions from 12 different countries have been cooperating in the project during four years, from Sept 2009 to Dec 2013. They include excellent Research Infrastructures with leading DER expertise and equipped with unique testing facilities.

The DERri Event is the platform for public dissemination of the project results and achievements. Within the Event, the Conference “Experimental research and needs in support of the DER integration in the EU Energy System” will emphasize the importance of the DERri outputs and will frame its objectives in the EU and the International context.

The Conference will give a picture of the progress of the research on Smart Grids, with special emphasis on the experimental and demonstration activities and needs. Initiatives from ISGAN, EERA and EEGI will be presented as well as from a number of exemplary projects encompassing some of the hottest topics around Smart Grids.
The participation is free of charge.
