The present Implementation Plan 2017-2020 (IP 17-20) has been elaborated in a very close collaboration with the ETIP-SNET Working Groups and submitted to public consultation from 3 July to 10 August 2017. It aims at listing the short-term priorities for R&I in ETIP SNET’s scope and as defined in the DoI (Declaration of Intent) for key action 4 of the SET Plan (Increase the resilience, security and smartness of the energy system).
The main feature of the roadmap is to address flexibility by considering several options (cf. Figure on the side), both for transmission and distribution systems, such as sector interfaces (electricity-gas and electricity-heat for instance), flexible thermal and RES generation, and storage. Other flexibility means and enablers such as digitalisation are also covered.
