UBITECH ENERGY participates in the 3rd Plenary meeting of DATA CELLAR

UBITECH ENERGY actively participated in the 3rd plenary meeting of DATA CELLAR, which took place on June 6th and 7th, 2023, in Cascais, Portugal. UBITECH ENERGY as the leader of DATA CELLAR’s WP5, i.e., Data-Driven Energy Services Development, and Task 5.2 that focuses on developing data-driven digital twin models for energy communities, discussed the updates of the work package. In addition, working alongside WP4 (Data-Cellar ICT Architecture Reference Definition and Edge and Cloud Platform Development) and WP6 (Data Marketplace and Valorisation, Tokenization and Distributed Ledger Technologies), UBITECH ENERGY discussed the Overall Platform of DATA CELLAR and the diverse use cases of the project. Finally, during the meeting UBITECH ENERGY proudly announced the successful and timely submission of D3.1, documenting the progress achieved in Task 3.1 (i.e., Assessment of relevant existing EU databases and how to interconnect to them and the other ENERGY Dataspace) of the WP3 (Interoperability and Federation of EU Energy Data Spaces)

ENTSO-E’s study on Power and Heat Sectors: Interactions and Synergies published with the support of UBITECH ENERGY

The study on Power and Heat Sectors: Interactions and Synergies analyses the current situation of the H&C sector in the EU and its objectives for 2030 and 2050; it provides a comparative description of the H&C technologies, including prospects for the integration of RES and thermal storage

UBITECH ENERGY participates in the General Assembly of project DATA CELLAR

UBITECH ENERGY participated in the General Assembly of the DATA CELLAR project that was be held in Amsterdam on 11th and 12th January 2023 and hosted by MRA-E

Within DATA CELLAR, UBITECH Energy leads the development of the DATA CELLAR data-driven energy services, as well as the development of DATA CELLAR Digital Twin platform which will provide the ‘vehicle’ to materialize the citizen-driven energy-related activities into the operation of the energy system, while moving citizens to the foreground. In addition, UBITECH Energy contributes to the assessment of relevant existing EU databases and to investigating how DATA CELLAR data space can be interconnected with them and other energy dataspaces.

UBITECH ENERGY presented the activities performed in Task 3.1 “Assessment of relevant existing EU databases and how to interconnect to them and to other ENERGY DataSpace”: presentation of workflow, ontology and methodology to sisters’ project.

UBITECH ENERGY undertakes the technical coordination of the SINNOGENES project

SINNOGENES aims at designing and demonstrating the “Storage INNOvations (SINNO) energy toolkit”, a suite of innovative technologies and applications that render energy storage as the gamechanger for the acceleration of the successful energy transition and sectors decarbonization towards an EU integrated and flexible energy system.

UBITECH ENERGY participates at the kick-off meeting of the THUMBS UP project

UBITECH ENERGY participated in the kick-off meeting of the THUMBS UP project, which was hosted by VEOLIA in Volladolid, Spain (January 19-20, 2023) and officially started on January 1st, 2023. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101096921) and the project duration is 48 months.

THUMBS UP aims to develop and demonstrate thermal energy storage (TES) at daily (based on environmental friendly PCM) and weekly level (based on TCM sorption technology) solutions to be easily integrated in EU buildings (both connected and not-connected to DHN) to increase their energy efficiency as well as to exploit Power-to-Heat (PtH) approaches also to make EU Buildings as grid flexibility actors. THUMBS UP wants to overcome all the limits of stateof-the-art building-integrated PCM and TCM TES technologies, increasing TES energy density and reducing CAPEX. THUMBS UP innovates at different levels, from modelling to materials and enhance heat exchanger solutions, targeting demonstration at TRL 7.

Within THUMBS UP UBITECH ENERGY leads the exploitation strategy of the project and agreements between the partners.

 

Submission of research works is Open for the Special Issue: “Challenges and Issues of the Smart Grid Technologies Implementation: Targeting Grid Resilience with Digitalization”

UBITECH ENERGY at ENLIT 2022

UBITECH Energy, as technical coordinator of FARCROSS project, participated in one of Europe’s most relevant smart energy fairs, ENLIT in Frankfurt between 29 November and 1 December. 

ENLIT is one of the hub events throughout the year for all the players of the energy sector, bringing together 15 000 visitors and more than 700 exhibitors, not only from Europe, but also from Asia, the US and Canada.

 

 

UBITECH Energy played an active role in the hub sessions of the EU projects zone of ENLIT as  Mr. Anastasis Tzoumpas on day 2 presented the cornerstones and goals of FARCROSS, highlighting the five demonstration areas, and their expected impact on the increased cross-border power flows. – FARCROSS project will improve the cross-border electricity capacities in the South-Eastern European region by developing and testing various equipment that optimize the existing grids – he underlined in his presentation.+

Anastasis Tzoumpas took part in one of ENLIT’s next podcast episodes together with Alvaro Nofuentes, project coordinator of the Horizon2020 project TRINITY, which answered the same call back in 2019. The two projects are working together on a joint paper (publication expected in Q1 2023), therefore in the podcast they discussed the synergies and complementarities between the solutions developed in FARCROSS and TRINITY.

During the last day, the communication Work Package leader, Mrs Magda Zafeiropoulou from UBITECH Energy, visited the industrial key stakeholder’s booth to disseminate the project results.

UBITECH ENERGY undertakes the technical coordination of the ENFLATE Innovation Action on consumer-centered energy markets flexibility

NOVA and UBITECH ENERGY co-host the kick-off meeting in Athens, Greece (September 14-15, 2022) of the ENFLATE Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101075783) and spans on the period September 2022 – August 2026.
