An intelligent integration and a coordinated use of distributed generation and small-scale energy storage devices (DSO and client owned) combined with the flexibility provided by end-customers can significantly contribute to improve the robustness, resilience and flexibility of the distribution grid (MV/LV), a common goal for Distribution System Operators. SENSIBLE 1 project aims for energy storage sustainability and three demonstrators were deployed (Portugal, England, Germany) in order to prove the capabilities of distributed small-scale Energy Storage Systems (ESS). In Portugal, 5 Use Cases (UC) were tested to demonstrate storage for grid operation and end-customer applications. From high-level tools to low-level control systems (grid and residential automation), a complex ICT architecture was developed in order to enable the conditions to test all the Évora's functionalities. This paper presents the final results of the real environment challenging tests focusing on the technical, economical and societal conclusions Évora (Portugal) demonstrator.
