European Distributed Energy Partnership (EU-DEEP) is a large research project supported by the European Union (EU) and coordinated by GDF Suez. Started in 2004, the project gathers 41 organizations around the common objective of removing the main barriers to massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER).
Background
DER are small grid connecting devices that enable decentralized energy to be stored or generated close to the load they serve with the capacity of 10 megawatts (MW) or less. Centralized power plants use energy to transmit power over long distance, so decentralizing the system uses less energy and encompasses a wide variety of different advancing renewable technologies such as Wind power, Solar power, Geothermal power, Biomass, and Biogas into the system.
“European cities are the most advanced in terms of the transition to new energies”, Denis Simonneau, Head of International and European Relations at GDF SUEZ.{{cite web|title=How is the Transfer to New Energies going in Europe Today?|url=http://www.gdfsuez.com/en/group/opinions/interview-denis-simonneau-mipim-new-energies/|website=gdfsuez.com|publisher=GDF Suez|accessdate=17 November 2014}}
The EU-DEEP project, developed by eight different European energy companies, was designed so that most of the technical and non-technical issues which halt a massive deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) in Europe could be eliminated.{{cite web|website=fenix.iwes.fraunhofer.de |url=http://fenix.iwes.fraunhofer.de/html/objectives.htm |title=Fenix }}
EU-DEEP Partners
The EU-DEEP is made up of forty-two partners from sixteen countries. The partners are different from one another as they include energy operators, industrial manufacturers, research centers, academics, professionals and national agencies. Each partner also has different capabilities from the development of electric equipments to the analysis of the energy markets mechanisms.{{cite web|title=Work Description|url=http://www.eudeep.com/index.php?id=456#workdescription|website=eu-deep|accessdate=17 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129023747/http://www.eudeep.com/index.php?id=456#workdescription|archive-date=29 November 2014|url-status=dead}}
