EUROPEAN projects
CASSANDRA
- Acronym: A multivariate platform for assessing the impact of strategic
decisions in electrical power systems
- European project, funded in FP7, project ID FP7-ICT-2011-288429
- web site: http://cassandra-fp7.eu/
- Duration: 2011-2014
- Description:
Project CASSANDRA aims to build a platform for the realistic modeling
of the energy market stakeholders, also involving small-scale consumers.
CASSANDRA will provide users with the ability to test and benchmark
working scenarios that can affect system operation and company/environmental
policies at different levels of abstraction,
starting from a basic level (single consumer) and shifting up to
large consumer areas (i.e. a city).
