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.

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 project’s goal is to develop and demonstrate novel modular, compact, high performances and Plug&Play thermal energy storage (TES) solutions for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water (DWH) production, able to provide electricity load shifting with meaningful peak shaving of the thermal and electric load demands.ECHO project will provide a key tool for thermal energy storage in the context of sector coupling and provision of flexibility of demand. ECHO system will be adapted to the different energetic scenarios. Additionally, its modularity will allow to use the concept in different scales, from small apartments to larger buildings.

The Clean Energy Package establishes customer rights to access energy data and share it with chosen eligible parties, fostering the development of new data-driven services within and beyond the energy sector. The lack of standardised procedures across the EU poses a significant obstacle to the implementation of such solutions. Currently, actors adhere to national practices, hindering interoperability and limiting growth opportunities.

The main objective of eFORT is to make European power grids more resilient and reliable to failures, cyberattacks, physical disturbances and data privacy issues. To this end, a set of technological innovations will be developed for the detection, prevention and mitigation of risks and vulnerabilities with positive impacts on power system operation and stability. The eFORT solutions will be demonstrated at TSO, DSO, substation, and consumer levels in 4 real demonstration grids that have been selected considering their complementarities and relevance to tackle the main threats of current European power systems.

The ELECTRON project aims to enhance the resilience of Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) against cybersecurity threats. It will develop an advanced EPES platform focusing on risk assessment, anomaly detection, failure mitigation, and personnel training using AR-VR technologies. The project targets improved cybersecurity, reduced downtime, enhanced system reliability, and better-trained personnel. Key impacts include strengthened EPES security and compliance with cybersecurity standards, aligning with EU priorities on critical infrastructure protection.
