Description:
|
ELECON (Electricity Consumption Analysis to Promote Energy Efficiency Considering Demand Response and Non-technical Losses) started in 2012 and lasts for 4 years. This project focuses on the establishment of a competent and fruitful network between EU and Brazilian researchers to contribute to the smart grid successful implementation. The amount of funding is 445 200 Euros. ELECON is an innovative scientific and exchange scheme aiming at advancing on electricity consumption analysis methods and on the way they are used to promote energy efficiency. ELECON will focus on the design and use of demand response (DR) and on the identification of non-technical losses, for their crucial role in the sustainability of energy systems and relevance ensuring the correctness of the energy billing, respectively.
