The ECHO project aims to develop and demonstrate novel modular, compact, high-performance and Plug&Play thermal energy storage (TES) solutions for heating, cooling, and hot tap water production, able to provide electricity load shifting with meaningful peak shaving of the thermal and electric load demands. It will provide a key tool for thermal energy storage in the context of sector coupling and the provision of flexibility of demand. The developed systems will be adaptable to different energy sources and user demands. They will be feasible to be charged directly by means of an internal heat pump, exploiting the electricity overproduction from the grid, or directly connecting to renewable energy sources installed in the building. 

The CELINE project aims to create a cross-sectoral digital energy ecosystem by developing secure and efficient digital tools for data management across the energy sector. It supports local energy exchange and peer-to-peer trading through innovative business models and encourages citizen participation through co-design methods, participatory governance, and training. By defining standardiased policies tailored to energy communities, the project ensures regulatory alignment. Demonstrations across various European regions will validate the scalability and adaptability of its solutions.

STUNNED aims to demonstrate the potential of providing energy flexibility services to the electricity network by aggregating multiple residential and industrial buildings. By enabling the active participation of prosumers, consumers, and producers, the project facilitates their effective integration into electricity markets.

The EU-funded AHEAD project will use advanced AI models to develop a tool that balances user accessibility and grid capacity. The project will test flexibility services at seven demonstration sites, focusing on optimising both economic benefits and grid stability. The aim is to enhance the integration of EVs into the power grid.

ONDEP – Ondas de Peniche is a Horizon Europe-funded project focused on deploying a 2 MW wave energy pilot farm in Peniche, Portugal. The project, running from 2024 to 2030, aims to advance wave energy technology, with the farm connected to the grid and generating electricity for eight years post-project. ONDEP brings together 14 partners from 9 European countries, including leading companies and research institutions.

The ENERGENIUS project reimagines how citizens, businesses, and communities interact with energy. By integrating cutting-edge digital tools, AI-driven insights, gamification, and expertise from 9 cross-sectors called “knowledge arenas”, ENERGENIUS empowers users to make smarter energy choices.

i-STENTORE aims to explore and optimise diverse energy storage solutions, including hybrid systems, focusing on their role in enhancing grid reliability, stability, cost-efficiency, and asset longevity across various applications like mobility, industry, and households. By designing a Reference Architecture and fostering novel business models, the goal is to create a flexible, interoperable energy system that maximises renewable energy integration and unlocks new revenue streams for storage operators, advancing the energy transition.

The HEDGE-IoT project proposes a novel Digital Framework designed to deploy IoT assets across different levels of the energy system, from behind the meter to the TSO level. By leveraging advanced AI/ML tools, this framework bridges the cloud/edge continuum, enhancing intelligence at both edge and cloud layers. It focuses on interoperability and standardisation, managing a wide range of energy services over scalable and distributed data platforms.

The DIGITISE project leverages digital technologies and data to accelerate the clean energy transition. It aims to enhance digital literacy among consumers and prosumers, empowering them to engage in digital energy activities and markets. By combining expertise in energy systems, flexibility services, energy markets, and human engagement in digital ecosystems, DIGITISE integrates advanced technologies into a comprehensive consumer empowerment framework.

The Federated Digital Twins for Wind-Offshore (DTWO) project is developing a federated digital twin to forecast offshore wind power production. By integrating existing models, simulation tools, and real-time data, it aims to improve the efficiency and stability of renewable energy systems.
