IANOS, aims to revolutionise energy systems in European islands by demonstrating integrated solutions for decarbonisation and smartification. It focuses on deploying advanced technologies like smart grids, renewable energy generation, and energy storage systems. Key objectives include enhancing energy efficiency, promoting renewable energy adoption, and empowering local communities.

The HYPERRIDE project aims to implement DC and hybrid AC/DC grids to enhance energy distribution efficiency and resilience. Key objectives include technological advancements in DC grid components, resilience enhancement through fault mitigation and cybersecurity solutions, and renewable energy integration. The project’s focus lies in advancing grid technology, enhancing resilience, and facilitating renewable energy integration to support European energy efficiency and sustainability.

HESTIA aims to develop a cost-effective solution for the next-generation demand-side response services, engaging residential consumers in flexibility sharing and grid balancing. Key activities include exploiting energy demand flexibility, valorizing energy efficiency, and involving residents in solution design. The goal is to enhance sustainability, promote consumer engagement, and drive innovation in the energy sector.

FlexPlan aims at establishing a new grid planning methodology considering the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements. It creates a new innovative grid planning tool whose ambition is to go beyond the state of the art of planning methodologies and uses it to analyse six regional cases covering nearly the whole European continent, aimed at casting a view on grid planning in Europe till 2050.

FLEXGRID will develop advanced mathematical models and algorithms for network-aware market clearing (i.e. clear the market taking into consideration dynamic grid constraints) and market-aware network management (i.e. exploiting available flexibility from energy service providers and aggregators to deal with grid problems such as frequency/voltage control and local congestion management).

FARCROSS promotes state of the art technologies to enhance the exploitation/ capacity/ efficiency of transmission grid assets. The hardware and software solutions aim to increase grid observability to facilitate system operations at a regional level. FARCROSS considers cross-border connections, planning to use a wide-area protection approach to ensure the safe integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, mitigate disturbances and increase power system stability.

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. 

CREATORS aims to accelerate the integration of energy communities across Europe by supporting local actors throughout the entire life cycle of a CES and bringing “CES-as-a-service” models to a commercial readiness level. The project will develop and prepare a set of applications and service packages that will help in the initiation, planning, implementation and operation of Community Energy Systems. Additionally, will be designed and built viable business models upon verifiable data on technical and financial performance.

BD4NRG envisions to confront big data management challenges for the energy sector, giving a competitive edge to the European stakeholders to improve decision making and at the same time to open new market opportunities.
