The Horizon 2020-funded HYPERGRYD project closes its chapter with the launch of a final video that brings together insights from the four Live-in Labs deployed across Europe.
This video offers a holistic look at the innovative solutions developed and tested in real environments, reflecting the project’s mission to revolutionise how we produce, distribute, and manage energy.
Live-in Labs have served as practical testbeds where hybrid thermal and electric grids, digital modelling, and predictive control technologies have been explored in depth. These sites provided the opportunity to validate HYPERGRYD’s approach in diverse climates, infrastructures, and social contexts, proving the adaptability and potential of the proposed solutions.
The video captures not only the project’s technical achievements but also its collaborative spirit. Each Live-in Lab involved a close-knit partnership between researchers, technology providers, municipalities, and local communities. The result demonstrates how decentralised, integrated energy systems can work in real-world scenarios to support Europe’s transition to climate neutrality.
Key elements highlighted in the video include:
- The application of digital twins for better grid performance.
- The use of machine learning and data-driven control to increase energy efficiency.
- Strategies for integrating renewables and storage in both residential and district networks.
- The importance of engaging with users and local operators to ensure replicability and usability.
As the video makes clear, the impact of HYPERGRYD goes far beyond lab walls. It is a call to scale and adopt new energy strategies that are smart, flexible, and resilient.
The learnings from Live-in Labs offer a roadmap for municipalities, energy providers, and policymakers seeking to decarbonise their grids without compromising performance or stability.
Whatch the video!!
