Involves 3 countries in Europe (Portugal, Spain, and Germany) and one academic partner in the US
Includes 62 researchers actively involved in the project, from which 20 are Experienced Researchers (ER)
In this 4 years project, 4 workshops will be held, 3 in Europe and 1 in the US
Smart Grid (SG) concepts are rapidly being transferred to the market and huge investments have been made in renewable-based electricity generation and rolling out smart meters. However, the present state of the art does not ensure neither a good return of investment nor a sustainable and efficient power system. The work so far in the EU involves mainly larger stakeholders, namely power utilities and manufacturers more focused on production and grid resources. A closer attention to the demand side of the system is required, and especially in the interaction with the new methods for SG management. Efficient power systems require the optimal use of the available resources to cope with demand requirements and Demand Response (DR) programs with adequate business models can leverage demand flexibility both on centralized and distributed models, as renewable energygeneration is highly dependable of uncontrolled factors (as wind and solar radiation) for which anticipated forecasts are hardly trustful.
DREAM-GO puts together research teams from the EU and US thus taking advantage of US experience in DR, teaming up academic partners with pioneer work in smart grid management and non-academic partners (SMEs) with the required know how and infrastructure to jointly produce relevant advancements in the state of the art. SME participation will ensure cross-fertilization of ideas and competences to build a knowledge network targeting the scientific community and other smart grid actors, as power resource managers, grid operators and resource aggregators, and ultimately targeting consumers (through consumers organisations and curtailment service providers) on the demand side. The main goal is to create a framework with the required methods and solutions to facilitate the adoption of the results in final applications, by providing grounded scientific knowledge to possible pathways for future implementation of a more efficient SG system in the EU.

The tutorial on "Big Data Analytics: Future of Smart Grid" has taken place as part of the 2018 Clemson University Power Systems Conference (PSC 2018), held in September 4th-7th, 2018, in Charleston, South Carolina. The sixteenth PSC conference has put together research, faculty, and industry players discussing "Smart Grid Technologies and Innovation", with the presence/support of several IEEE societies, and many industries http://psc.rtpis.org.
The tutorial on "Big Data Analytics: Future of Smart Grid" was organized on Tuesday, September 4th, by Dr. G. Kumar Venayagamoorthy, from Clemson University, US, and Dr. Zita Vale, from the Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal. These two scientists, members of DREAM-GO team, and Dr. João Soares, also a DREAM-GO researcher, addressed a set of topics, related to DREAM-GO project, namely energy forecasting, demand response management, renewable energy sources, customer operations, and cybersecurity.
The 2018 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting was a very relevant forum for the power and energy professionals and scientists, “Re-imagining the Electric Grid” in the first week of August, in Portland.
Zita Vale organized a panel session, on Thursday, August 9, titled “Intelligent buildings in a smart grid context: IoT and transactive energy applications”, with a set of experts from companies/universities, namely AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, Paris Saclay University, CEA/INES, PcVue, and Airbus.
Pedro Faria presented DREAM-GO results in a talk titled “Intelligent M2M grids handling in buildings in a smart grid context”

DREAM-GO participated in EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF 2018), in Toulouse, 9-14 July, 2018.
The DREAM-GO results have been more specifically disseminated in the panel session titled "Look around: tomorrows smart cities are being planned and delivered today".
The project results captured a great attention from the audience concerning both demand response and real-time simulation topics, and the experience within the project with United States. DREAM-GO researchers also made part of the "meet our scientists" event where the community was able to speak with us.

DREAM-GO participated in the First Workshop on Enabling Energy Internet via Machine-type Wireless Communications. Prof. Zita Vale introduced the research done by her group GECAD. She provided an answer to how “new markets” would be in the future, where sharing or peer-to-peer exchanges will become more dominant than buying/selling. She discussed different simulation platforms they have developed in different European projects including DREAM-GO, from energy management in buildings to the wholesale market multi-agent simulator. They can work in real-time and with hardware.
A future event is expected and GECAD has been invited to be part of future activities like organizing a second version of this workshop and a special call in some IEEE journal (like IEEE Access, IoT Journal or relevant transactions/magazines).
