CROSSBOW
Project
The Romanian Energy Center Association (CRE) and its member TRANSELECTRICA, which it has promoted in the European Consortium, cooperate in the implementation of the European Project "CROSSBOW" - "CROSS BOrder management of variable renewable energies and storage units enabling a transnational Wholesale market", funded by the European Commission, within the Horizon 2020 Program.
Coordinator
ETRA Investigation Y Desarrollo SA Group - Spain.
Partners
8 Transmission and System Operators (TSOs) from Central and South East Europe: ADMIE (GR), ESO (BG), EMS (RS), NOS BiH (BA), HOPS (HR), ELES (SI), CGES (ME), MEPSO (MK) as well as others
partners, in a consortium of 24 energy and telecommunications professional organizations from 13 European countries.
Duration
The CROSSBOW project started on November 1, 2017 and lasted four years.
Budget
17,287,742.88 EURO - Maximum Grant Amount
Objective
CROSSBOW proposes innovative solutions by sharing partners' resources to encourage cross-border management of variable renewable energy and storage, enabling increased penetration of clean energy while reducing grid operational costs and improving the economic benefits of clean energy and storage.
Benefits
Encouraging regional cooperation between system operators in South East Europe. The project offers 9 different tools to help the Regional Coordination Center in the region to facilitate a greater penetration of Renewable Energy Sources - RES, while reducing operational costs for individual operators at both the transmission and distribution levels of electricity.
Role of CRE
It contributes to the assessment of the technical and socio-economic impact of CROSSBOW integrated solutions, to the definition of business models and solutions to overcome local, regional and global obstacles, to the exploitation of results, to the business innovation strategy and to the development of new standards.
