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.

The project aims to enhance wind farm control using digital innovations to achieve stable, secure, and cost-effective energy production. Key objectives include developing advanced control systems to optimize energy output, reduce maintenance costs, extend turbine lifespan, and enhance cybersecurity. Measurable outcomes include improved farm performance, reduced operational costs, and increased reliability of wind energy systems. This project contributes to advancing renewable energy technologies for sustainable energy production.

The TwinEU project aims to develop new technologies and establish the necessary conditions for interoperability. It aims to create a European data exchange core supported by interfaces to the energy data space currently in development. Leveraging advanced modelling and AI tools, the project seeks to deliver a digital replica of the energy infrastructure that can be tested and activated. Moreover, it will enable new technologies to foster an advanced concept of DT while determining the conditions for interoperability, data and model exchanges through standard interfaces and open APIs to external actors. 

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.
