ONDEP – Ondas de Peniche is a Horizon Europe-funded project focused on deploying a 2 MW wave energy pilot farm in Peniche, Portugal. The project, running from 2024 to 2030, aims to advance wave energy technology, with the farm connected to the grid and generating electricity for eight years post-project. ONDEP brings together 14 partners from 9 European countries, including leading companies and research institutions.

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.

i-STENTORE aims to explore and optimise diverse energy storage solutions, including hybrid systems, focusing on their role in enhancing grid reliability, stability, cost-efficiency, and asset longevity across various applications like mobility, industry, and households. By designing a Reference Architecture and fostering novel business models, the goal is to create a flexible, interoperable energy system that maximises renewable energy integration and unlocks new revenue streams for storage operators, advancing the energy transition.

The HEDGE-IoT project proposes a novel Digital Framework designed to deploy IoT assets across different levels of the energy system, from behind the meter to the TSO level. By leveraging advanced AI/ML tools, this framework bridges the cloud/edge continuum, enhancing intelligence at both edge and cloud layers. It focuses on interoperability and standardisation, managing a wide range of energy services over scalable and distributed data platforms.

The DIGITISE project leverages digital technologies and data to accelerate the clean energy transition. It aims to enhance digital literacy among consumers and prosumers, empowering them to engage in digital energy activities and markets. By combining expertise in energy systems, flexibility services, energy markets, and human engagement in digital ecosystems, DIGITISE integrates advanced technologies into a comprehensive consumer empowerment framework.

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.

EU-DREAM project designs and implements innovative digital technologies to assist citizens in exploring all the digitalisation possibilities. It will help both non-experienced and experienced citizens to increase control over energy use, providing them with an active role in the just energy transition, and supporting easy access to energy and flexibility markets.

STORE2HYDRO aims to retrofit reversible pump turbine technology into existing hydropower facilities to increase Europe’s electricity storage capacity by 22TWh/year. It involves developing innovative mechanical solutions for large-scale pumped storage, mapping untapped hydropower sources, implementing digital twin technologies, and conducting life cycle and cost assessments. The project will enhance the flexibility and efficiency of hydropower plants, supporting the European Green Deal goals.

NEXTBMS will develop next-generation physics and data-based Battery Management Systems for optimised battery utilisation. The core objective of NEXTBMS is to achieve a best-in-class advanced BMS hard- and software solution concerning technical performance, adaptiveness, and cost, for first-life perspective as well as end-of-life (second-life) management. 

ODEON project aims to develop a reliable, scalable, and accessible federated technological framework, including the ODEON Cloud-Edge Data and Intelligence Service Platform and Federated Energy Data Spaces. By facilitating the delivery of innovative, data-driven energy services, ODEON supports the objectives of the DoEAP.
