Purpose and description: The SMILE project wants to demonstrate various innovative, technological and non-technological solutions in the shape of large scale grid projects on the Orkney Islands, Samsø and the Madeira Islands. The purpose is to pave the way for their introduction to the market in the near future.

The technological solutions range from integration of battery technology, the use of electricity power for heating and fueling, hydroelectric pumping, electric vehicles, electric loading of ships, a unified demand management (DSM) and algorithms that can predict consumption and needs.

At Samsø, a Smart Grid pilot project is being carried out at Ballen Harbour and Ballen Ferry Port.
