Summary
Since monitoring and control of energy conversion and storage components requires domain specific know-how, research and innovation, proposals expected to work either at component level or system level of the DRES, and cover at least one of the following areas: electric, thermal and hydrogen.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should cover at least one of the following areas:
Electric: Electrical energy storage solutions and integration of bi-directional EVcharging, demand side management of electrical appliances / machines
Thermal: Electric heating & cooling, HVAC, H2-based heating & cooling, thermal energy storage, integration of heat sources, connection to thermal grids
Hydrogen: Electrolyser and fuel cell systems including its balance of Plant and thermal management, hydrogen transport, distribution and storage, interfaces for connection to hydrogen grids
The proposals should address, within the research priorities covered by them, at least one of following points:
- Monitoring & sensing: Sensor systems technology and smart systems integration allowing operation optimized for efficiency, reliability, and safety, health status evaluation, prediction of remaining lifetime, asset management
- Digital twins being the basis for smart control allowing interoperability, reconfigurability and retrofit ability of sensing systems onto existing assets and infrastructure with long term performance
- New generation power electronics for shared DC buses (e.g. coupling of renewables, with batteries and electrolyser,
- integrated power electronics for advanced controls
Some of the activities in the scope of this focus topic have synergies with the recommendations defined in several High-Level Use Cases (HLUCs), and Priority Project Concepts (PPCs), defined in the ETIP SNET R&I Implementation Plan, that are in most cases translated in Clusters 4 and 5 HE Calls, for example in DG ENERGY.
All R&I proposals should include evaluation of customer needs and requirements for the use cases to ensure an excellent problem solution fit.
