Co-authored by Tomislav Antić and Tomislav Capuder from our partner FER, in collaboration with Andrew Keane from University College Dublin, this paper discusses: 🔸 the impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) integration on power distribution networks; 🔸 the methodologies for calculating hosting capacity (HC) and dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs); 🔸 the influence of different assumptions and approximations - introduced to cope with computational complexity - on the accuracy and scalability of these calculations. 📄 Read the full publication: ➡️ Published version - https://lnkd.in/df3PP2sr  ➡️ Open access - https://lnkd.in/dMvnv9VA Explore all the scientific and conference papers produced by WeForming 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dh-Nc4gW #WeForming #HorizonEurope  #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition EUROPEAN DYNAMICS, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), F6S Innovation, Hardware and Software Engineering, HOLISTIC , IKO Real Estate, #Sudstroum, Circu Li-ion, GenCell Energy, Q Energy, Builtrix, #MOVIDA, R&D Nester - Centro de Investigação em Energia REN - State Grid, S.A., Grid ONE, #SmartIslandKrk, #Wingest, Flexide Energy, Applied Thermodynamics Laboratory of University of Liège, Cuerva, Schneider Electric, #Aggregering, Vergy, AIR Institute, Universidad de Málaga, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe, BES - Badische Energie-Servicegesellschaft mbH CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

🔥🔋New Generation Thermal Energy Storage Systems The #Muspell project begins this month, funded with a €3.5 million Pathfinder grant from the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). 🎯The goal is to develop an innovative solution for energy management that can provide substantial benefits in various industries and sectors, paving the way for a more sustainable future. The consortium, coordinated by Eurac Research, consists of five other European partners: Swisspod Technologies, Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE, the @National Institute of Chemistry in Slovenia, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), and Politecnico di Milano who will work together over the next four years. 📅Kick off event 11 and 12 October, NOI Techpark, Bolzano.

𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 In this paper you get an overview of the European RENergetic Project, which studies community-empowered multi-vector energy islands and discusses their implementation in 3 pilots sites (in Belgium, Italy and Poland). Our team is leading the research on impact assessment and business opportunities. 👉 We identified the relevant KPIs for local energy communities from a technical and economic perspective. Our colleagues at Uni-Seeburg and Uni-Stuttgart added KPIs from a social perspective. 👉 We calculated those KPIs for different pilot implementations, e.g. the self sufficiency of the energy island (as a key technical KPI) and the levelized cost of energy (as a key economic KPI). 👉  We analyze the typical business models that are used by local energy communities and we show how technical innovations (e.g. the multi-vector optimizer) can impact the business model for different actors within the community.

Building and #energysystems are complex. #Netzero is the goal. Designing them as holistic systems could be the answer. Matthias Sulzer, researcher at Empa's Urban Energy Systems Laboratory and at the Berkeley Lab in California, and Michael Wetter, researcher in the Building Technology and Urban Systems Department at the Berkeley Lab, are advocating for a 🔸paradigm shift🔸 in the planning and construction process of building and district every systems. They call for a more automated and model-based planning process, as has long been common practice in the computer chip and automotive industries. 👉️This shift has the potential to revolutionize the planning, construction and operational processes. And also promote the #digitalization and #automation essential to achieving #decarbonization goals. The first concrete application of the concept is the EU project GOES (Geothermal-based Optimized Energy Systems), which aims to develop an initial application for platform-based designs using pilot plants. One of these plants is on Empa's campus in Dübendorf. 🔗Related work: https://lnkd.in/giDbWwDT https://lnkd.in/emtjkPpG 🔗EU project GOES: https://lnkd.in/er42msaA

To the question: "How can we support the energy transition today and in the future?" 🌍  Tal Tutnauer replies emphasizing the fact that: "Thermal storage is crucial for integration of intermittent renewable energy with 24/7 heat demand in industrial processes." 🌱    Would you like to hear more about it? At the Swiss Symposium Thermal Energy Storage on the 26th of January 2024 in Horw, Tal Tutnauer from Brenmiller Energy ($BNRG) will give an industrial input on the "Electrification of Heat Using Thermal Energy Storage".    🎟️ Secure Your Spot: Ready to be part of the TES revolution?

We are embarking on the next phase of the Energy Policy Programme at the EIT InnoEnergy CommUnity, and your invaluable input is crucial to shaping our forthcoming Position Paper. This document offers a detailed review of the current state of energy systems, aiming to outline a vision for the energy system by the year 2050 within a broad European context. It identifies challenges, sets policy objectives, proposes solutions, and delineates expected outcomes. Building upon our previous paper, we will continue to delve into topics such as Heat and Power, Buildings, Consumer Behaviour, Transport, and Industry. Furthermore, we are introducing new dimensions—Digitalisation, Future Technologies like Hydrogen, and Materials.

Create an intelligent, scalable system that adapts to changing marine conditions, continuing to operate even if a part of the system fails. 📌 This is the mission of the research project “MODULAR ELECTRICAL GENERATOR PTO SYSTEM FOR WAVE – MEGA PTO WAVE”, a European initiative dedicated to the use of energy from ocean waves.  🔎 Selected for Horizon funding, MEGA PTO Wave brings together expertise from seven European countries intending to create a PTO generator connected to sustainable supply chains and capable of accelerating the commercialization of wave-motion energy.  📣 The consortium also includes two Italian companies: Cheros Srl and the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence of the Scuola Sant’Anna in Pisa.  💡 And it is the latter to make the initiative better known by telling the company officially started in May 2024. ⬇️ Link in the first comment #RinnovabiliNET #environmnent #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainablity #sustainabledevelopment

💡 From new materials to innovative concepts. From projects to improve light management and strategies to overcome current limits of efficiency. From the most promising applications to unresolved problems. The “Status report on emerging photovoltaics“, drawn up by a group of 41 international experts, offers an interesting overview of emerging photovoltaic technologies. The document has been published in recent days in the Journal of Photonics for Energy and through vertical sections launches a look at the state of the sector, discussing the challenges still open and the tools to address them. An overview designed to be “a useful resource for people inside and outside the industry”. “The various contributions – explains JPE’s chief editor, Sean Shaheen, professor at the University of Colorado Boulder and co-author of the report – demonstrate the remarkable range of emerging photovoltaic technologies as well as developments in their applications. They also describe some of the challenges for widespread implementation”. #SENnews #environmnent #globalwarming #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainabledevelopment
