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.

The WeForming project aims to revolutionise energy management in buildings by focusing on intelligent grid-interactive efficient buildings (iGEBs). It will develop innovative solutions to harmonise energy processes, enabling seamless integration into broader energy networks and markets. Key objectives include digitalising building operations, optimising energy processing, and ensuring buildings can adapt intelligently in multi-energy environments. Measurable impacts include enhanced building efficiency, reduced energy consumption, optimised grid interaction, and accelerated adoption of iGEBs in smart cities, contributing to sustainable urban living.

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.

WILLOW integrated system will provide an open-source, data-driven smart curtailment solution to the Wind Farm Operators with the basis of an integrated Wind Farm Control system looking for a trade-off between the power production and the lifetime consumption. With this aim WILLOW pretends to design a novel Structural Health Monitoring System able to provide high quality data to perform a reliable fleet life assessment using physical models and AI methods which will be used for decision-making and maintenance scheduling.

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.
