As electricity demand is constantly increasing, grid operators have to deal with several challenges, such as power transmission losses or outages. TDX-ASSIST aims to address these issues by developing new technologies to improve data exchange between system operators.
Electricity demand is on the rise, driven by the global economic recovery and decarbonization goals. It has also grown in popularity due to the development of electric vehicles and smart devices.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, power generation in Europe fell by 3%, but the following year it recovered by increasing by 3.6%, returning to pre-pandemic levels, where the amount of green energy generated alone accounted for 27% of global production.
With this increase and growth, grid operators have to deal with several challenges, such as power transmission losses, outages, and consumption and production variations.
Investments in grid infrastructure and digitalization are crucial to developing technologies that can help us deliver the speed and scale required to reach decarbonization goals, while addressing the increasingly important topic of energy security.
With a duration of three years (2017-2020), TDX-ASSIST aims to develop novel tools and techniques to facilitate the data exchange between transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution system operators (DSO).
The TDX-ASSIST's objectives are focused on three pillars:
The project team decided to turn to Horizon Results Booster for the Portfolio Dissemination & Exploitation Strategy service to strengthen their dissemination capacity and maximise the exploitation of their portfolio results.

"The [Booster] services provided invaluable assistance to the consortium by refining KERs, enhancing their applicability and usability, and outlining clear and practical exploitation paths."

''The collaborative experience with all the involved partners was very fruitful in terms of guiding me on what was expected from Booster services. That was key to deliver a final report that covered their expectations and needs.''
"Horizon Results Booster services were very helpful. It was useful to understand how exploitation could go beyond direct commercialisation. Through these seminars, I realised that in fact it could be applied to many fields."
