The ELEXIA project aims to develop tools for integrated energy system planning and management across sectors, focusing on digitalization, resilience, and flexibility. Key activities include developing a System Planning Toolbox, Energy Management Systems, and a Digital Services Platform. The project will demonstrate these tools in three pilot sites in Portugal, Denmark, and Norway. Measurable outcomes include reducing energy and grid demand, achieving significant CO2 emissions reductions, and contributing to EU policy frameworks for energy integration and sustainability. The main objectives are to enable cost-optimized and resilient energy systems, promote sector coupling, and support the EU’.

The ENERGENIUS project reimagines how citizens, businesses, and communities interact with energy. By integrating cutting-edge digital tools, AI-driven insights, gamification, and expertise from 9 cross-sectors called “knowledge arenas”, ENERGENIUS empowers users to make smarter energy choices.

The EU’s goal of achieving a carbon-neutral economy by 2050 requires a significant expansion of renewable energy sources, with energy storage playing a crucial role. Second-life batteries can contribute to the advancement of an electrified, decarbonised society. However, to ensure safe and efficient battery operation, battery management systems (BMS) require improved data and battery models. To address this, the EU-funded ENERGETIC project leverages AI to develop an enhanced BMS suitable for both transportation and stationary applications. This innovative system optimises battery usage, ensuring reliability, power, and safety across all operational modes. The project employs cutting-edge approaches, blending physics and data-based methods at the software and hardware levels, allowing it to predict battery lifespan and diagnose degradation using transparent AI models.

ENERSHARE aims to develop and demonstrate a European Common Energy Data Space, fostering interoperable and trusted data sharing among stakeholders. The project will create an Energy Data Ecosystem enabling access to fragmented data sources and facilitating data-driven cross-value chain services. Measurable outcomes include the establishment of a Reference Architecture, deployment of blockchain-enabled marketplace, and co-designing consumer-centric business models. Key research areas include data interoperability, blockchain technology, and consumer empowerment. The overarching theme is to promote data sharing for enhanced market efficiency and sustainability in the energy sector.

The eNeuron project intends to develop innovative instruments for the best design and performance of LECs, integrating distributed energy resources and multiple energy carriers at different levels. By promoting the Energy Hub concept as a conceptual model to control and manage multi-carrier and integrated energy systems, the project will propose instruments that promote tangible sustainability and energy security benefits for all stakeholders in LECs. 

The project aims to develop collaborative platforms for consumer-driven energy services, integrating flexibility resources from various sectors. Activities include upgrading existing solutions, replicating them across Europe, and developing innovative market designs. Primary research areas include data-driven energy, health, and mobility services, decentralized flexibility marketplaces, and real-time control algorithms for heat networks and buildings.
