Projects

TwinEU will leverage a unique set of competences coming from grid and market operators, technology providers and research centres to create a concept of Pan-European digital twin based on the federation of local twins so to enable a reliable, resilient, and safe operation of the infrastructure while facilitating new business models that will accelerate the deployment of renewable energy sources in Europe.

The aim of QuGrids is to establish an interdisciplinary team of scientists to investigate how quantum-based technologies (quantum computing and quantum communication) can change the planning and operation of energy grids. Our goal is to create a network based in the state of Northrhine-Westpalatinate (NRW) that leads the research, development, dissemination and education of quantum-based energy grids.

The energy transition and increasing sector coupling pose major challenges for energy system research. In this context, digitization processes towards cyber-physical energy systems (CPES) facilitate change in many respects and have an equal impact on technical, social, and societal issues, but also on the research process itself. NFDI4Energy aims to establish a joint research infrastructure for FAIR data, models, and processes, whereby results are to be made reproducible and transparent.

ENERSHARE aims to deliver a reference architecture for a European energy data space by hybridizing SGAM with IDSA and GAIA-X architectures. This integration will incorporate the perspective of the data value chain into the energy sector.
