The EU-supported ODEON project has launched a planning and reinforcement assessment module for flexible and resilient grids.
Part of the ODEON Energy Services for DSOs tool, the new module aims to empower DSOs by enhancing their mid to long term planning capabilities.
The module, which was launched by project partners Institute of Information and Communication Systems (ICCS) in Greece and Cyprus-based consultancy EPL Technology Frontiers, utilises advanced algorithms for power network planning that assess reliability, performance and power quality.
This should allow for optimal planning and sizing of network assets under various scenarios, such as new demand connections, the integration of renewable energy sources, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) penetration.

How AI is ‘bending the curve’ on energy transition innovation
The algorithms integrate comprehensive data from various sources, including SCADA systems, long-term demand and generation forecasts, anticipated EV and renewables penetration statistics and demographic information from public statistics portals.
With this data the module should be enabled to generate alternative long-term network evolution scenarios in the period one to five years and beyond, and conduct transient analysis and evaluate power quality and reliability metrics in specific segments of the distribution grid.
In addition it should allow to identify necessary grid reinforcement actions and assess the required investments.
ODEON project
The ODEON (federated data and intelligence Orchestration and sharing for the Digital Energy transition) project is aimed to demonstrate innovative solutions to create an ecosystem of stakeholders characterised by the integration of data, intelligence, service and market flows in the energy system.
Five specific innovations are planned – a cloud-edge data and intelligence service platform, a catalogue of AI artefacts and sets of energy services for DSOs, local energy communities/aggregators and prosumers.
The 48-month project launched in January 2024 with 34 partners from 13 EU countries and is coordinated by Etra I&D.
