The EU-DREAM project, a European project dedicated to pioneering next-generation energy services, solutions, and products that genuinely benefit consumers, is launching a survey to explore consumer needs, motivations, and challenges related to the flexibility and controllability of household appliances. This feedback is vital in shaping innovative, consumer-driven energy solutions.

EPRI, a global non-profit energy research and development organization, today announced the international expansion of its DCFlex initiative, starting with participants in Europe.

Introduced last year in the United States, DCFlex explores how data centers can support the electric grid, enable better asset utilization, and improve interconnection and efficiency. The collaborative effort—with Google, Meta, NVIDIA, and various utilities as founding members—now includes France-based RTE and Schneider Electric, Amsterdam-based ING, and PPC Group, based in Athens, Greece.

A four-year project involving EPRI Europe has developed new design simulation models for offshore wind turbines, finding that using less material in turbine construction can reduce the cost per unit of produced energy by up to 9%. That could boost the competitiveness of offshore wind, helping the European Union meet its goal of installing 450 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2050.

As the digital age transforms the energy landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and critical energy infrastructure could boost efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

Brussels, Belgium (October 1, 2024)

The AGISTIN consortium convened on the 26th and 27th of September at Fraunhofer’s office in Brussels for the first periodic review, marking a major milestone in the project’s journey towards developing advanced grid interfaces for energy storage integration. The review covered the achievements and progress made in the first 18 months. 

Europe (July 18, 2024)

Leading energy industry and research collaborators from across Europe are launching the EU-DREAM project this month to accelerate innovation in digital tools and enhance the adoption of digital services in the energy market.

The offshore wind energy sector is poised for a significant transformation with the launch of WinDTwin, a groundbreaking European-funded project aimed at revolutionising wind power production forecasting and management. With a grant of €6 million, this three-year initiative unites a diverse consortium of 13 entities from seven countries, unified by the goal of creating a highly accurate and dynamic digital twin (DT) for offshore wind farms.
