Virtual Power Systems as an Instrument to Promote Transnational
Cooperation and Sustainable Energy Supply in the Alpine Space
AlpEnergy visualisation tool:
A virtual power system

Accessibility and Connectivity
11 Projects
Eg. PARAmount - http://www.paramount-project.eu/
imProved Accessibility:

Programme
+ 6 projects approved so far: AlpEnergy, Alp-Water-
Scarce, CO2 Neutralp, Enerbuild, Silmas, SHARE.
+ Hydropower and water ecosystems in the Operational
Programme of the Alpine Space Programme:
+ Pinpointed by experts in the Strategic Environmental
Assessment of the Programme;
+ Highlighted by the European Commission;
+ Very closely checked during the evaluation of
projects and monitored during their implementation.
SHARE
A strategic project
+ In line with EU policies and orientations concerning water
and energy;
+ Shared transnational solutions and tools for improved water
management and governance;
+ A unprejudiced methodology and tool through an innovative
approach: Multi Criteria Analysis
+ A constant quality improvement throught the involvement of
stakeholders in the Permanent Technical Panel
+ Cooperation with the Water Platform of the Alpine
Convention
What is still expected from the project
+ Long term sustainability of SHARE tools (DSS) and
platforms
+ Sustainability of the pilot actions
+ Keeping alive the Permanent Technical Panel
+ Capitalise on achieved results, eg. Broad implement the
improved MCA
+ A targeted transfer of the results to practitioners,
administrations and policy makers.
