Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European R&I projects
Consumer and Citizen Engagement Working Group: Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European RandI projects (April 2021) As part of the BRIDGE initiative, the Consumer & Citizen Engagement Working Group (WG CCE) investigates the creation of a structured cross-cutting understanding of the role and methodologies of engagement in European R&I projects. To explore this issue, in this report, the WG CCE analyses a wide set of topics, divided among 5 sub-groups, and identifies gaps in the knowledge and needs of European Research and Innovation projects around engagement.
Annual Report 2023 Consumer and Citizen Engagement
This report, written by the Consumer and Citizen Engagement Working Group (November 2024), provides an overview of the collaborative efforts of the BRIDGE Consumer and Citizen’s Engagement Working Group (CCE WG) during the 2023/24 period. It focuses on the dual roles of individuals as consumers and citizens in the energy transition within European research and innovation (Research and Innocvation) projects.
Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European R&I projects 2.0
Consumer and Citizen Engagement Working Group: Exploration of citizen engagement methodologies in European RandI projects (May 2022) The report, prepared by the Consumer and citizen engagement working group in 2022, describes the development of the working group's activities, based on the 2020-2022 work plan, with the ultimate goal of creating a structured, cross-cutting understanding of the role and methodologies of engagement in European Research and Innovation projects.
FARCROSS
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.

TILOS
TILOS (Technology Innovation for the Local Scale Optimum Integration of Battery Energy Storage) aims to demonstrate the optimal integration of local scale energy storage in a fully-operated, smart island microgrid on Tilos island, Greece, that will also communicate with a main electricity grid. The main objective of the project will be the development and operation of a prototype battery storage system, based on NaNiCl2 batteries, provided with an optimum, real-environment smart grid control system and coping with the challenge of supporting multiple tasks, ranging from microgrid energy management, maximization of RES penetration and grid stability, to export of guaranteed energy amounts and provision of ancillary services to the main grid.
STOREandGO
Storing large amounts of electric energy from renewable energy sources will enable countries to deal with long periods without sufficient sun and wind available, as e.g. during a dull November. A process called Power-to-Gas (PtG) allows for storing the surplus of renewable energies on sunny or windy days by the creation of synthetic natural gas. The project STORE&GO focuses on the integration of PtG into the daily operation of European energy grids to investigate the maturity level of the technology. Three different demonstration sites offer highly diverse testing grounds for PtG. Moreover, three different innovative methanation processes will be developed and improved to a high Technology Readiness Level.
NAIADES
The NAIADES project aims to develop and demonstrate the ambient Na-ion battery under realistic conditions as an effective alternative to the Li-ion battery for stationary Electric Energy Storage (EES) application. The overall purpose of this project is to develop a battery technology based on the sodium ion technology for sustainable EES that would bring a radical decrease in cost with respect to the lithium ion technology while ensuring sustainability and performance in terms of safety, cycle life, and energy density.
