PEDvolution paves the way for cross-sectoral integration of ever-evolving PEDs through the co-development and implementation of seven interoperable solutions. Its solutions will design, process, optimise and strengthen the PEDs interoperability, business, societal and technological factors addressing and handling PED interaction and integration with inbound and outbound energy resources across energy and non-energy sectors.

PLOTEC aims to design, model and install a successful demonstration of a novel cylindrical ocean thermal energy conversion OTEC platform capable of withstanding the extreme weather effects of tropical oceans, with an economically viable cost model.

POCITYF is a smart city project that will help historical cities to become greener, smarter and more livable while respecting their cultural heritage. By implementing and testing Positive Energy District in its cities, POCITYF will support Europe in the race to become the first Carbon Neutral Continent by 2050.

R2D2 aims to enhance EPES resilience against threats like extreme weather and cyber risks. Key activities include dynamic risk assessment, TSO-DSO interaction, and cyber-security tools. Measurable outcomes include reduced power losses and enhanced supply security. Research areas cover risk assessment, resilience, cybersecurity, and asset maintenance. The project’s theme centers on bolstering EPES resilience for reliable energy supply.

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.

REEFLEX is focused on delivering higher participation of energy consumers in demand side flexibility markets and demonstrating niches of opportunities for new services provided by SMEs and start-ups, seeing a growing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the network. DERs come from an ample variety of energy carriers and sectors, accompanied by the introduction of new digitalized assets.
