Goal

Demonstration of smart grid solutions in three pilot projects in different EU island regions

Description

By optimizing supply and demand through various smart grid technologies, demonstrations, and evaluations in various EU island regions, lessons learned and best practices can be applied and extrapolated to other islands and even the mainland to solve the challenges of the energy transition at a local level.

The ultimate goal of the project is to promote the market introduction of the nine tested technologies. The development of smart grids is a key prerequisite for the transition to a clean, affordable, and reliable energy system. Therefore, the development of market-ready technologies that facilitate this transition is crucial.

Our role

We are the initiator and co-developer of the project, working with the RINA coordinator on communication, dissemination, exploitation, and replication activities.

Partners

Next to New Energy Coalition, RINA Consulting, Aalborg University, ACIF, PRSMA, Community Energy Scotland, DAFNI, EEM Madeira, CERTH Hellas, LI Balance, MITI Madeira, University of Groningen, Route Monkey, Samso Elektro, Energy Academy Samso, Samso Kommune, Sunamp, the Danish Technological Institute and VCharge UK are participating in the project.
