GRID4EU is a collaborative project within the 7th framework program. The project will extend over 4 years, and involves 28 partners in 12 different EU countries. The goal of the GRID4EU project is to carry on demonstration pilots of Smart Grids solutions on a large scale basis. GRID4EU aims at testing in real size innovative system concepts and technologies in order to highlight and help to remove some of the barriers to the smart grids deployment and the achievement of the 2020 European goals.
