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 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 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.

The THUMBS UP project aims to develop thermal energy storage (TES) solutions for EU buildings to enhance energy efficiency and grid flexibility. It includes technology development, integration, validation, and modeling. Objectives: TES technology development, integration with building systems, validation in diverse sites, and replication studies. Measurable outcomes: replicability, socio-economic benefits, environmental contributions, market transformation, and policy promotion for TES adoption.

TIGON aims to achieve a smooth deployment and integration of intelligent DC-based grid architectures within the current energy system while providing ancillary services to the main network. To do so, TIGON proposes a four-level approach aiming at improving reliability, resilience, performance, and cost efficiency of hybrid grids through the development of an innovative portfolio of power electronic solutions and software systems and tools focused on the efficient monitoring, control, and management of DC grids. These solutions will be demonstrated in two main demo-sites located in France and Spain.

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.
