· Reduction of Carbon based Emissions to meet future EU needs
· Improved security of supply by moving away from fossil fuels
· Increased reliability of power systems incorporating significant DG
· Optimised power quality in the presence of increasing power electronic loads through the use of
intelligent energy interfaces
· Enhance fault ride through capability by intelligent fault discrimination

In Slovenia

The results will contribute to the Slovenian legislative on the field of RES, and also to the standards.
The power plant will be located in the center of the city (Maribor) so it can be used to promote RES to
professional and overall community. This will be done in the following way :the partner TCPEtro Maribor
will contribute to the project by building a photovoltaic power plant on the roof of their main building. The
company basic activity includes:
- distribution of electrical energy (distribution network operator)
- electricity energy purchase and sale
- construction of electrical energy devices.
The aim of this power plant will be mainly in testing of protection and measurement equipment and also evaluating
the quality of electrical energy (spikes, higher harmonics, flickers etc.) produced by solar panels combined with
DC-AC converters.
Also , the SIHFC (Slovenian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform) was launched on the initiative by
Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia. Partners are from industry (some of the most important Slovenian
companies) and academia (universities and research institutes). Platform is currently seeking a financial support by
the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology.
Photovoltaic technology platform has aim to promote photovoltaic production in Slovenia. Also its tasks are:
Supporting and installing the photovoltaic power plants, reducing legal obstacles, and directing local scientific
community. The platform is also member of EU platform - European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA).
Mambers are both from industry and academia. The platform is financially supported by Ministry of economy
(Slovenia).

The platform for sustainable ecology and energy development is URE & OVE cluster, that connects Slovenian
companies and research institutions from the field of RES. The cluster is financially supported by Ministry of
economy (Slovenia).
Currently in Slovenia: approx. 32% share of RES in electricity generation, about 15% in primary energy
generation. In projections for 2010 the share of RES in electrical energy production should rise to 33.6%.

In the EU :
The topics stated in the thematic area complement many of the international research programmes within the EU
(REEEP, EUROPAWORLD). In addition, there are many national programmes. In the UK for instance, there are
SUPERGEN, TSEC consortia which receive government funding to investigate various aspects of improved use of
RES, whereas the Carbon Trust works with UK industry to reduce carbon emissions. In FRANCE, the ANR
(National Agency for Research) has launched the PAN-H project to foster use of Hydrogen/Fuel Cells.
