REACT is a 4-year innovation project, funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Union. Its objective is to achieve energy independence for the islands by combining renewable energy sources and their storage, with an active demand management platform, promoting the participation of users in a local energy community….
GEOFIT partners identified the creation of a CEN workshop as a useful way to disseminate the GEOFIT project findings and results in accordance with the dissemination activities carried out to facilitate the acceptance and utilization by the market of the developed solutions through the interaction with the standardization system. Thanks…
Energy storage is vital for the successful decarbonisation of the energy systems, balancing the generation and demand of renewable resources. However, current energy storage systems present limited lifespan, cost, energy and power density, and dynamic response features. As a solution to this issue, smart hybridization schemes coupling two different battery…
Ireland’s Energy White Paper (December 2015) and National Mitigation Plan (June 2017) emphasise the role of citizens and communities in meeting energy targets for a low carbon future. The national Sustainable Energy Communities (SEC) Programme, run by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), is one of the main pillars for driving the growth…
