PARMENIDES aims to develop a new ontology focused on the electricity and heating domain for buildings, customers, and energy communities. The project seeks to support various use cases by creating a new generation of innovative Energy Management Systems (EMS). Additionally, it will define an information and communication architecture to enable interoperable, reliable, and secure data and instruction exchange.

NEXTFLOAT project will design an integrated system of lightweight floating platform with a proprietary PivotBuoy connection system. This new design reduces the structure’s weight and greatly improves mooring and installation techniques and costs. The project also proposes using aluminium as a conductor material for the dynamic cable. This innovative concept will be demonstrated at the MISTRAL site in the Mediterranean Sea.

NEWGEN aims to develop and demonstrate new insulation materials, cable manufacturing solutions, online condition monitoring technologies, and life and reliability modelling tools for next-generation of extruded high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables and cable systems. The project’s main objectives are to develop novel space charge mitigating additives and cable extrusion solutions for highly reliable polymeric HVDC cables; develop and demonstrate a novel online global monitoring system for pre-fault detection and health status evaluation of HVDC cable systems, and develop a comprehensive life and reliability model for HVDC cable systems.

The NaturSea-PV project aims to enhance the durability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of offshore floating photovoltaic (PV) substructures. It focuses on developing innovative structural designs and eco-friendly materials to withstand harsh marine conditions while reducing installation costs. Key objectives include conceptual substructure design inspired by nature, circular materials development, predictive computational tools for durability assessment, and testing in realistic offshore conditions.

The project aims to revolutionise tidal energy generation by increasing rotor swept area by 70%. It focuses on delivering reliable, cost-optimised 13m tidal turbine blades, implementing advanced structural condition monitoring, optimising blade/controller designs, enabling circularity in blade manufacturing, and advancing digital maintenance management. Key objectives include achieving cost reduction and supporting European supply chain solutions for tidal stream energy. The project targets significant socio-economic benefits, environmental impact through increased renewable energy utilization, market transformation in the renewab.

MASTERPIECE focuses on creating a digital arena to facilitate the creation and operation of Energy Communities across Europe. The main objectives are to empower energy consumers and foster collaboration paving the way towards a new energy market paradigm; create user-centric solutions to naturally accelerate citizens’ involvement; propose innovative business strategies and incentive mechanisms to activate market participants’ reaction; establish standardised cybersecurity infrastructure to protect citizens and privacy; demonstrating the feasibility and replicability of project’s innovations across diverse geographical and frameworks real-life pilots.

InterSTORE plans to address to develop an innovative middleware that, while virtualising the storage technology, will simplify its use from the point of view of integration platform thanks to a technology agnostic approach. The middleware will facilitate the integration of storage creating an independence from hardware solutions which are critical from customer perspectives to avoid vendor lock-in solutions and assure the compliance to the new IEEE 2030.5 standard.

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.

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.

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.
