RESPONDENT to Showcase Breakthrough Solutions for Renewable Energy Integration Challenges

Taking place at the premises of project partner Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (IREC) in Barcelona, Spain, and streamed online, this pilot marks a significant step forward in optimizing electricity grid operations, leveraging AI-driven forecasting, Galileo-enabled Phasor Measurement Units, and real-time data integration to enhance grid stability and efficiency.

Building on the success of the first pilot in October 2024, which focused on power generation forecasting, the second pilot introduces demand forecasting capabilities and resilient nanosecond-level time synchronization for advanced grid monitoring —a critical component for balancing electricity supply and demand in an increasingly renewable-based energy system.

Most notably, the pilot’s setup includes the Galileo-enabled PMU, installed and calibrated to use Galileo time stamping, integrated with IREC’s microgrid control system alongside a second one installed at an Anell substation.

The second pilot highlights the full capabilities of the RESPONDENT Solution Suite, including:

• Demonstrating real-time grid monitoring through nanosecond-level time synchronisation, using the Galileo-enabled PMU technology timing and synchronisation to enhance data accuracy.
• Optimizing energy planning for system operators and market participants with integrated Power Generation and Demand Forecasting.
• Improving congestion management, voltage control, demand-side response strategies, and stability through enhanced grid monitoring and accurate forecasting.
• The development of a European solution for the time synchronisation of grid sensors that is independent of non-EU satellite systems

Ultimately, this final pilot will reinforce RESPONDENT’s role in supporting Europe’s clean energy transition and strengthening the future of its energy security.

To ensure that these innovations reach the stakeholders who need them most, RESPONDENT invites grid operators, policymakers, energy traders, industry professionals, and all interested parties with a stake in the future of renewable energy in Europe to witness the final pilot demonstration first-hand.
