Quick wins and lessons already learned and during first 2,5 years of this project
Lessons learned• Ambitious and real implementation R&D projects need a laboratory space to
test developments and integration before going to site;
• An R&D project like SENSIBLE requests a fully available team for the project working on it daily;
• Even in a 4 year long project, it is critical to start working on it since day one;
• Quickly solve your predictable issues to be mind available for the unpredictableones;
• Bring the right partners with common commitment because you will need them for sure in critical situations;
• Since the first day, critical decisions must be align with core BU.
Quick wins• EDP NEW R&D is now ready to actively lead/contribute innovation projects in
storage and smart grids area, specifying testing and validating advanced storageand smartgrid applications;
• EDP Labelec has today additional testing capabilities in smartgrids,smarthomes and storage areas;
• Know-how acquired is available and to be shared/spread to other EDP Businessunits.

SENSIBLE was the first BIG R&D project for Labelec/NEW R&D and the embryo for upcoming challenges in the development of the electrical system
Conclusion• SENSIBLE is an ambitious project-real demonstration on field
and represents an opportunity to grow
• SENSIBLE has a wide scope of application where political and regulatory aspects are also a challenge
• In Évora demonstrator EDP keeps developing Inovgrid project as well as developing the electrical system of the future
Next steps• Évora demonstrator is now ready to be in fully operation
