Opis
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
• Enhanced reliability, resilience, and efficiency of electricity transmission grids. Grid congestion is managed efficiently;
• Enhanced observability of grids and improved forecasting of supply, demand, grid capacity availability, and flexibility;
• Transmission system operators (TSO) leverage modern digital solutions and employ improved systems to effectively manage their grids and improve interoperability with other TSOs;
• Vendor-agnostic reference architectures, solutions and tools are developed to help advancing the TSO control room design and operation.
Scope:
Projects are expected to address all the following items:
• Design and test innovative solutions, technologies and processes for advancing the way the TSO control rooms are designed and operated, increasing observability and entailing enhanced support for the operators, providing more automation and enhanced support for decision, faster response times and less room for error. The solutions are expected to incorporate both hardware and software aspects;
• Analyse and include, as far as possible, solutions for Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) to extend the real-time monitoring and control capabilities over large areas, while coping with the decentralisation and increased complexity of the system;
• The novel solutions are expected to help the operators to manage better grid congestion and incorporate more renewables while reducing curtailment. The solutions will facilitate data-driven grid operations, capitalising on real-time analytics and data from smart assets. The solutions may include preparation, recovery and/or restoration from incidents (including extreme weather events);
• Help the grid operators to update their operational tools in light of the deep transformation of the grids, notably the distributed nature of generation. May include the option to de-centralise the control for increasing the resilience of decision-making;
• Advance forecasting solutions for energy supply, demand and flexibility made available to the system operator, need for ancillary services, as well as for grid hosting capacity; provide advanced analytics and visualisations;
• Develop interoperability between the control rooms of different TSOs (and using different vendor solutions) to secure seamless data exchanges and coordination. Develop interoperability between the TSO control rooms and other entities connected to the transmission grids, including the adjacent DSOs.
• Leverage modern solutions, notably digital twins and artificial intelligence. Use security-by-design and advanced protection mechanisms against cyber threats. Use and/or develop, to the greatest extent possible, open-source software solutions and or software modules;
• Develop a manual and propose best practices on this matter to be used by other TSOs (including operation instructions). Identify remaining gaps and further needs for research and development.
The demonstration, test and validation of the activities should be carried out in at least two pilots in different EU Member States or Associated Countries.
Projects are expected to include at least two electricity Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and at least two universities and/or research organisations.
Additionally, collaboration is encouraged with the following entities and projects:
• at least one supplier of technology and solutions for TSO control rooms;
• at least two distribution system operators, which manage grids that are connected to the grids operated by any of the TSOs that are partners in the project;
• (at least) one project funded under the separate call ‘Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADSM) for more efficient and flexible distribution grids’ with the view to strengthen TSO-DSO coordination and support interoperable solutions. To that end, the project proposals are expected to describe a credible mechanism to do so.
This collaboration (minimum number of entities) is sought per project in total and does not necessarily apply per each pilot in particular.
Selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative[1] and actively participate in its activities.
Technology Readiness Level - Technology readiness level expected from completed projects
Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-8 by the end of the project – see General Annex B. Activities may start at any TRL.

Warunki
Dane spisane przez nas z dokumentów źródłowych. Każda wartość ma własne warunki. Brak danych oznacza, że źródło nie podaje wartości, a nie zero ani brak limitu.
- Konsorcjum wymagane
- Tak
Unless the exact topic-specific conditions provide otherwise, this action requires three independent beneficiary legal entities established in three different countries: at least one in an EU Member State and at least two others in different EU Member States or Associated Countries. Affiliated entities do not count toward the minimum. Topic-specific required organisation types, applicant restrictions, and exceptions recorded elsewhere in this packet remain applicable; this baseline does not replace them.
- Konsorcjum wymaganeConsortium across the whole project, not each pilot
- Tak
At least two TSOs and at least two universities and/or research organisations are expected in the consortium. Technology supplier, DSOs and cross-project cooperation are encouraged, not mandatory; minimum collaborator counts are project-wide.
- Inny warunek
- The Work Programme specifies Innovation Action as the action type for this topic.
- Inny warunek
- Selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative and actively participate in its activities.
- Inny warunek
- Entities established in eligible countries but directly/indirectly controlled by China (or China-established legal entities) cannot participate where the topic invokes the critical-technology restriction.
- Inny warunek
- The topic encourages a control-room technology supplier, at least two connected DSOs, and collaboration with at least one project from the separate D3-26 call; it expects a credible mechanism for TSO–DSO/interoperability coordination.
These are explicitly encouraged collaboration partners; they are not part of the minimum required consortium composition.

Kwoty i koszty
- Limit kosztów kwalifikowalnych
- 25 percent flat rate of eligible direct costs, subject to the base exclusions in conditions
Horizon Europe General Annex G describes a 25% indirect-cost flat rate on eligible direct costs, excluding eligible direct subcontracting costs, financial support to third parties, and any unit costs or lump sums that include indirect costs. For HORIZON-AG actual-cost grants this is a cost-calculation rule, not a grant-rate increase. For HORIZON-AG-LS it informs the underlying eligible-cost estimate only; it is not an additional payment on top of the fixed lump sum. The topic indicative allocation and per-project contribution are distinct from this cost rate.
- Intensywność wsparcia, maksimum
- 70 percent of eligible costs (general Innovation Action maximum for non-profit status not established)
The exact Work Programme labels this topic an Innovation Action. General Annex G sets a 70% maximum for legal entities other than non-profit entities; the separate nonprofit maximum is represented in its own typed fact. This is an action-type maximum, not a guarantee or the topic-level indicative EU contribution; the final rate is fixed in the grant agreement. For the lump-sum topics, the rate is already applied in the lump-sum methodology and is not an extra multiplier.
- Intensywność wsparcia, maksimum
- 100 percent of eligible costs (up to; nonprofit legal entities only)
Only for a non-profit legal entity, the general Innovation Action maximum may be up to 100%; this is not automatic or a salary entitlement, and final funding parameters are fixed in the grant agreement. For the lump-sum topics, the percentage is embedded in the lump-sum amount methodology and is not an extra multiplier.
- Oczekiwany wkład na projektCommission-estimated EU contribution per project for this exact topic
- 9 500 000 €
The Work Programme says this amount would allow outcomes to be addressed appropriately but expressly does not preclude proposals requesting other amounts. It is not a minimum, maximum or award promise.
- Budżet tematuExact Work Programme topic allocation, not per-project funding
- 28 500 000 €
The call table marks the budget indicative and subject to availability of Union appropriations; it is not a guaranteed grant or per-beneficiary amount.
