Bornholm Test Island

Description

The Danish island Bornholm is a full-scale real-life laboratory and test site for Smart Energy solutions. The island is ideal for this purpose because more than 50 % of the electricity consumption of Bornholm’s 27,000 customers comes from renewable energy, the island hosts a number of modern power and energy technologies as well as include valuable technical properties. The Bornholm power system is part of PowerLabDK, an experimental platform for electric power and energy, which integrates the Bornholm power system and the laboratories at Technical University of Denmark (www.powerlab.dk). The island host several large present, past and future R&D-activities; among others EDISON, EcoGrid EU and IDE4L. The presentation will outline the activities at Bornholm and elaborate on the perspectives of Bornholm as a European Smart Grid ice breaker and role model.
