The ICONIC project aims to develop innovative digital and physical tools to achieve fundamental breakthroughs for the integrated control of wind farms, considering the whole physical system at farm, turbine, and component levels, in particular the complex aerodynamic interactions among turbines.

Project iDesignRES develops open-source toolboxes for planning and optimizing low and zero-emission energy adoption at regional and European scales. Objectives include user-friendly online tools, high-resolution energy models, and optimised investment strategies. Key outcomes: enhanced renewable energy uptake, improved system planning, and increased stakeholder collaboration for sustainable transitions.

The INFINITE project demonstrates floating offshore wind system at 100m water depth with two key technology innovations. The first is a disruptive and environment environment-friendly concrete tension leg platform anchored with an innovative tendon-based mooring system. The second is an innovative aluminium dynamic cable design that is safer, lighter, cheaper and allows for more standardisation in O&M.

The project focuses on fostering interoperability in the European energy sector through the establishment of an open and cross-domain community known as the Interoperability Network for the Energy Transition (int:net). Key objectives include creating a common knowledge base for interoperability activities, developing an Interoperability Maturity Model, establishing a framework for interoperability testing, and building a community network for a European interoperability ecosystem.

InterOPERA aims to enable interoperability of multi-vendor HVDC grids for offshore wind integration. It focuses on standardising HVDC systems, facilitating collaboration among industry leaders, and providing policy recommendations. Key objectives include defining demonstrator case studies, de-risking interoperability issues, and establishing modular approaches to HVDC projects.

InterPED aims to enable the concept of PEDs via sector coupling, cross-vector integration, demand flexibility and consumer engagement, while improving utilisation of local RES, storage and excess/waste heat (E/WH) sources. InterPED will couple RES, storage and E/WH sources (community assets) available in the pilots with the necessary know-how and ICT expertise to ensure improved operation of PEDs and grid robustness. InterPED intends to engage the consumers via community building, RECs), representing a still largely untapped source of flexibility, while enabling them to play an active role in grid balancing.
