WILLOW integrated system will provide an open-source, data-driven smart curtailment solution to the Wind Farm Operators with the basis of an integrated Wind Farm Control system looking for a trade-off between the power production and the lifetime consumption. With this aim WILLOW pretends to design a novel Structural Health Monitoring System able to provide high quality data to perform a reliable fleet life assessment using physical models and AI methods which will be used for decision-making and maintenance scheduling.

The WeForming project aims to revolutionise energy management in buildings by focusing on intelligent grid-interactive efficient buildings (iGEBs). It will develop innovative solutions to harmonise energy processes, enabling seamless integration into broader energy networks and markets. Key objectives include digitalising building operations, optimising energy processing, and ensuring buildings can adapt intelligently in multi-energy environments. Measurable impacts include enhanced building efficiency, reduced energy consumption, optimised grid interaction, and accelerated adoption of iGEBs in smart cities, contributing to sustainable urban living.

The TwinEU project aims to develop new technologies and establish the necessary conditions for interoperability. It aims to create a European data exchange core supported by interfaces to the energy data space currently in development. Leveraging advanced modelling and AI tools, the project seeks to deliver a digital replica of the energy infrastructure that can be tested and activated. Moreover, it will enable new technologies to foster an advanced concept of DT while determining the conditions for interoperability, data and model exchanges through standard interfaces and open APIs to external actors. 

The project aims to enhance wind farm control using digital innovations to achieve stable, secure, and cost-effective energy production. Key objectives include developing advanced control systems to optimize energy output, reduce maintenance costs, extend turbine lifespan, and enhance cybersecurity. Measurable outcomes include improved farm performance, reduced operational costs, and increased reliability of wind energy systems. This project contributes to advancing renewable energy technologies for sustainable energy production.

The mission of the SUstainable resilient Data-enabled Offshore wind farm and control CO-design (SUDOCO) project is to develop an open-source physics-informed data-enabled wind farm control platform which has its foundations in existing and new experimental datasets. This novel software platform will integrate: 1) multiple wind farm flow control techniques and structural health monitoring, 2) value functions able to account for both time-varying inflow and market conditions, 3) farm-wide system optimization, 4) a high level of (cyber)security. 

The overarching objective of SMHYLES project is to design and demonstrate, at a relevant industrial scale, safe and sustainable HESS based on the smart combination of low-CRM and aqueous ESS (batteries and supercapacitors) capable of medium-to-long duration energy storage and provision of multiple services. The project will mainly deal with 1) the design of innovative storage components of the two different HESS, i.e., modular VRFB, aqueous hybrid supercapacitor module and smart ZEBRA battery, 2) their optimal integration and management into a HESS supported by digital tools and 3) the demonstration of HESS usage in three different demo sites.

SHIFT2DC aims to design, simulate, and implement MV and LV DC solutions across Europe, with 32 partners from 12 countries collaborating. The project evaluates technical feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact in data centers, buildings, industries, and ports. It will also assess consumer attitudes towards DC solutions and develop tools to encourage their adoption. Outcomes will be case-agnostic, suitable for various applications, with subsequent stages offering sector-specific simulations.

SEHRENE’s new electrothermal energy storage (ETES) concept is designed to store renewable electricity (RE) and heat and to restitute it as needed. The project aims to revolutionise energy storage by developing cutting-edge technologies for efficient heat and electricity management. The objectives focus on optimised cost-effective Electro-Thermal Energy System (ETES); scalability and applicability; lifetime extended and reliability; and to ensure market entry by 2030.

SEASTAR aims to deliver a 4MW array of 16 tidal stream turbines at the Fall of Warness tidal site in Orkney. This tidal farm will showcase industrial-scale manufacturing, operation, and maintenance techniques throughout the entire lifecycle: design, production, shipping, deployment, and operation to decommissioning. The project will address critical environmental evidence gaps and develop cost-effective, reliable, monitoring solutions to accelerate permitting and remove barriers for future large tidal farms. It will also reinforce the collaborative partnership between the UK and EU, create high-quality green jobs, and enhance Europe’s position as a global frontrunner in the marine energy supply chain.

SCO2OP-TES project aims to develop and validate up to TRL5 in UNIGE-TP lab the next generation of Power-to-heat-to-power (P2H2P) energy storage able to guarantee long duration and large scale energy storage to facilitate bulky RES integration in EU energy systems as well as to enhance fossil based power plants flexibilization and facilitate grid integration of EU industries. SCO2OP-TES promotes indeed a new paradigm where industrial WH (even at low temperature like 150-200°C) can be used not only to produce power via ORC or sCO2 Cycles, but to operate P2H2P storage systems more efficiently and grid flexibly.
