Demonstrators of Energy Applications: meet the Second Open Call Support Program selected projects
Seven projects were selected for the development and integration of their solutions. A total of 32 proposals were received for this call: 28 passed the first eligibility check, 18 were scored above threshold, 10 were selected for the first stage of the support programme, and 3 proposals were included in the reserve list.
Let’s get to know the proposals selected to proceed to the entire support program and receive the full grant of up to EUR 100,000.00.
Regarding the projects developing solutions aimed at residential consumers, we begin with the “Sinergy+” project, Simon Holding’s bet for promoting more sustainable habits. The solution will be tested in Spain, taking advantage of the SIF and SAREF ontologies to improve their existing IoT solution (iO) installed in more than 5,300 homes.
The “DSO-Flex” project will test in Denmark and France a solution based on digital twins for distribution grids. Linc ApS wants to enhances community engagement with CERF to optimise energy demand.
In the Baltic states, R8 Energy OU proposes the “SavingsFootprint” project. The aim? To develop an app that meets the needs of residential energy consumers, enabling them to consume efficiently, pay less for energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Empower energy consumers through stimuli”, by Easy Smart Grid GmbH, will implement, in Germany, a solution to mobilize existing end-customer energy flexibility potential as very low cost “virtual batteries”, guided by stimuli.
In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the “SAREF-THERCOM” project, by V-LAB, will work towards aligning THERCOM, an intuitive thermal comfort controller, with SAREF-based ontology, establishing a common language and framework for exchanging energy data.
There’s one proposal aimed at Electric Vehicle Charging. The “AI4CS – AI for Charging Stations”, of Local Ai, is aiming to demonstrate the live utilization of EV Charging Network data to provide the end user with recommendations about their upcoming charging session. The testing will happen in Croatia.
Finally, in Slovenia, “Flextrade” wants to enhance the IoT-DRACO platform for real-time active monitoring and control of data-driven energy communities.
