WEDUSEA aims to demonstrate a grid-connected 1MW floating wave energy converter at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, Scotland. The project’s primary focus is on validating the technology’s performance, reliability, and environmental impact in real sea conditions. Key objectives include showcasing the viability of wave energy devices for utility-scale deployment, contributing to policy development and technical standards, and increasing investor confidence in wave energy projects. Measurable outcomes include the demonstration of technology suitable for mass production, competitive Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE), realisation of multi-megawatt array deployments, and public acceptance.

The FLOW project focuses on integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into energy systems to alleviate grid challenges and foster mobility and energy decarbonisation. It aims to achieve it through multifaceted smart charging and V2X integration solutions, harmonising and standardising communication protocols, and developing user-centric technologies. Key objectives include technological innovation, interoperability, user empowerment, and socio-economic and environmental impact.

The ELECTRON project aims to enhance the resilience of Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) against cybersecurity threats. It will develop an advanced EPES platform focusing on risk assessment, anomaly detection, failure mitigation, and personnel training using AR-VR technologies. The project targets improved cybersecurity, reduced downtime, enhanced system reliability, and better-trained personnel. Key impacts include strengthened EPES security and compliance with cybersecurity standards, aligning with EU priorities on critical infrastructure protection.

The overall objective of the project is to set up sustainable energy-systems for achieving novel carbon neutral energy communities. The project focuses on development of smart technological concepts, enabling a green transition of the energy systems with higher share of local renewable energy and more efficient integrated energy solutions for electric, heat, water, waste as well as transport infrastructures using smart control, balancing of grid, storage solutions and active load control.

The main goal of RE-EMPOWERED is to develop and demonstrate solutions for the energy transition of local energy systems based on multi-energy microgrids, interconnecting multiple energy vectors. A complete set of solutions for local energy systems has been developed that will be demonstrated in four pilot sites, two European and two Indian. The developed tools include energy management systems, smart meters, power electronic converters, ICT solutions, and energy planning.

The aim of OMEGA-X is to implement a data space (based on European common standards), including federated infrastructure, data marketplace and service marketplace, involving data sharing between different stakeholders and demonstrating its value for real and concrete Energy use cases and needs, while guaranteeing scalability and interoperability with other data space initiatives, not just for energy but also cross-sector
