Knowledge Transfer of European R & D For several years EnerSearch has been involved in the European R&D for the power industry. Among other R&D activities the Commission of the European Union is dealing with the integration of Renewable Energy Sources and Distributed Generation in the overall grid. In order to concentrate efforts and to maximise critical mass, these activities have been bundled to a European Cluster of R&D funded by the European Commission. IRED - "Integration of Renewable Energy Sources and Distributed Generation into the European Electricity Grid" is coordinated by the Fraunhofer institute in cooperation with EnerSearch. This cluster represents a total budget of about 45 million USD. More than 100 participating institutions from research, industry and the utility sector are contributing to this common activity. In this R&D cluster and in others EnerSearch transfers knowledge by improving links to relevant research on the European and the international level. EnerSearch sets up strategic actions such as transnational cooperation on standards, testing procedures and the establishment of common education.
