Projects & Collaborations

The SynGRID project builds on the success and insights gained from key projects such as H2020 – COMPILE, X-FLEX, HE – STREAM, and OPENTUNITY. These projects have demonstrated advanced grid reinforcement and controllability techniques, which are crucial for the effective integration of renewable energy sources into existing low-voltage grids.

The SEEDS project, founded by the European Union’s Horizon program, is a project, which purpose is to encourage the integrated electrification of heating systems, efficient renovation and smartification of heating, ventilation and cooling systems, with the aim of decarbonizing the heat needs of buildings. The basic purpose of the project is to reduce the consumption of thermal energy in buildings and to increase energy flexibility to increase the share of RES, which would increase the stability of the network in a cost-effective way and with a low impact on the environment.

The 3Smart project has received funding from the European Union through the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme. The main goal of the project was to provide a technological and legislative setup for cross-spanning energy management of buildings, energy grids and major city infrastructures in the Danube region.

Funding Program:
Interreg Danube Transnational Programme
Duration:
1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019
Coordinator:
University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing
Consortium:
18 partners from six countries
Objectives
  • Modular software tool for energy management on building and distribution grid side.
  • Five pilot actions in different Danube Region countries including buildings and grids with intersected technology/regulatory setups.
  • Strategy to enable city-wide energy management and related regulatory barriers removal in the Danube Region

FLEXIGRID project proposes to improve the distribution grid operation making it more flexible, reliable and cost-efficient, through the development of four hardware solutions.

Funding program
Horizon 2020
Duration
October 2019 to September 2023
Coordinator
CIRCE
Consortium
15 partners from EU
Objectives

The main goal of FLEXIGRID is to allow the distribution grid to operate in a secure and stable manner when a large share of variable generation electricity sources is connected to low and medium voltage grids.

To do so, FLEXIGRID proposes a three-level approach aiming at Flexibility, Reliability, Economic Efficiency through the development of innovative hardware and software solutions.These solutions will be demonstrated in four Demo-Sites across Europe ensuring their interoperability through its integration into an open-source platform able to harmonize the data flow between FLEXIGRID solutions and the real grid.
