Digitalisation is key to implement the European Green Deal and make Europe ready for the digital age. The European Commission just...

Recently, BRIDGE members could share their insights about how their involvement in BRIDGE facilitates the energy transition and help scaling...

The overall project objective is to optimize the entire charging chain - from energy provision to the end user - to create a clear benefit for all stakeholders. Therefore, a ubiquitous on-demand charging solution based on an optimised charging network considering human, technical and economic factors along the entire charging chain shall be developed. The project will study how people use electric vehicles and analyse the energy system and power grid to understand how they will behave in the future. This research will help predict the actions of electric vehicle owners and companies that use electric vehicle fleets, and will identify any problems in the electric grid and energy system.

WHEEL project goes beyond the state-of-the-art in multiple topics related to floating wind in its pathway towards large scale commercial projects. WHEEL will break ground in multiple related but independent aspects: test an advantageous wind turbine configuration unprecedented in floating wind, innovating and testing new-generation synthetic materials for the mooring system, developing and testing new patented floating control strategies or designing patented solutions for on-site large corrective maintenance of floating wind turbines. These solutions have been conceived to address the requirements and opportunities of floating energy industrial production, installation, and operation.

TranSensus LCA aims to harmonise a single LCA approach for zero-emission road transport in Europe. Objectives include developing a real-data LCA approach, harmonising methodologies, and managing LCI data. Implementation involves conceptualising a consensus LCA, conducting tests, and seeking stakeholder consensus. Expected impacts include transparency, informed consumer choices, contribution to SDGs, market transformation, and informing policies for reduced environmental impact.

The SYNERGIES project aims to create a reference Energy Data Space Implementation to facilitate data-driven innovation and sharing across the energy value chain. It focuses on leveraging data from diverse energy actors and sectors to improve efficiency and inclusiveness. The project will involve activities such as diagnostics, technology configuration, deployment, and business innovation planning. Measurable outcomes include increased revenues from data-driven services, consumer empowerment in energy transactions, CO2 emissions reduction, and the creation of a new market for data-driven services.

SUREWAVE will develop and test an innovative concept of Floating Photo-Voltaic (FPV) system consisting of an external floating breakwater structure acting as a protection against severe wave-wind-current loads on the FPV modules, allowing increased operational availability and energy output, thus unlocking the massive deployment of Offshore FPV.

The ambition of the STREAM project (STREAM) is the creation of an innovative and robust flexibility ecosystem on the low voltage (LV) grid side of existing power markets. The success of the STREAM ecosystem relies on the benefit realized through the new business models developed in project, built upon local LV flexibility markets and novel barter-like mechanism. STREAM will connect data, technologies, stakeholders and markets on the one hand, and will facilitate the flexibility provision through open data sharing to enable other citizen services designed through a User-centric Approach to improve their acceptance and uptake, providing a variety of energy services supporting power markets.
