ADCONTROL
Research and development of new energy management systems in intelligent buildings based on advanced control techniques.
Description
ADCONTROL is a project that focuses on implementing asset monitoring and control architectures to manage the comfort of homes that are part of condominiums or neighbourhoods, as well as increasing the use of renewable energies and reducing the use of fossil fuels, making it economically sustainable.
The project presents a new architecture for data transfer and analysis, providing in the proximity of end users a part of the computing resources, avoiding the gap that exists between remote data processing centres and smart devices in Smartgrids.
Objectives
- Develop and implement an office and workshop monitoring system in an industrial environment, with a view to scaling it to the residential environment in the future.
- Develop and implement the actuator architecture required to operate devices and energy resources remotely.
- Design intelligent control architectures and data models based on the analysis of data collected by IoT sensors using data science techniques to automate the operation of HVAC or other flexible electrical loads and energy systems in such a way as to maximise comfort, minimise the use of non-renewable energy, minimise costs and preserve the usefulness of flexible electrical loads (e.g. HVAC) at all times.
- Demonstrate the capabilities of the developed system and evaluate it from a comfort, energy and environmental point of view.
Actions
- Prediction of energy use and renewable production. Algorithm development, implementation and testing.
- Optimal supervisory controller design. Controller design, parameterisation, implementation and testing.
- Cloud implementation of the supervisory controller. Communications architecture design, implementation and testing.
Expected Results
- Energy use prediction algorithm and renewable production.
- Optimal energy management algorithm.
- Design of the computer and control architecture for optimal energy management.
R&D Line
- Research on advanced and intelligent strategies for the management, operation, flexibility and maintenance of buildings based on AI/ML/DL for the generation of decision support systems.

Networking
Smart Grids projects:
iAMP_Hydro
iAMP-Hydro aims at improving the operation of existing hydropower plants (HPP) through the development of digital solutions which will be integrated into an intelligent Asset Management Platform (iAMP)
D-HYDROFLEX
D-HYFROFLEX seeks research into technological innovations in hydropower plants in search of improved efficiency and sustainability and hydropower competitiveness in modern electricity markets. The project will develop tools for the digital renovation of existing hydroelectric plants based on sensors, digital twins, artificial intelligence, hydrolyser modelling and image processing.
SINNOGENES
SINNOGENES project aims to develop the Storage INNOvations (SINNO) energy toolkit, a complete framework of methodologies, tools and technologies that will enable the grid integration of innovative storage solutions beyond the state-of-the-art, while demonstrating sustainability, technical performance, lifetime, nondependency on location geogrpahical particularities and cost.
PISTIS
PISTIS brings forward a reference federated data sharing/trading and monetisation platform for secure, trusted and controlled exchange and usage of proprietary data assets and data-driven intelligence.
CERFLEX
CERFlex project consist on research in development and TIC solutions implementation moods that help to the deployment in a new concept of energy communities, especially focus on rural environment, facilitating a decentralized management of the energy interchange, the maximum utilisation of the renewable resources and a sustainable consume of the available resources.
AGISTIN
AGISTIN will enable industrial users to rapidly deploy renewable energy through advanced integration of innovative energy storage technologies. The rapid decarbonisation of industry through electrification, the growth of renewables and the need for grid stability represents a unique opportunity for new forms of storage and schemes for grid integration.
GEDERA
GEDERA is a research project whose objective is the study and development of a multi-agent architecture that allows the development of applications for the smart grid, focusing the project on the management of flexibility in buildings.
EVPLAN
EVPLAN looks for developing tools that use as strategic decision making base that benefit users and future consumers of the electric vehicle
TIGON
The proliferation of renewable energies and the electric charges that operates with continuous current originates a growing interest in electric grids that operates with continuous current. This is due to the higher efficiency, security, flexibility and feasability that grids have than those ones that operates with alternate current.
MUSEGRIDS
The MUSE GRIDS project wants to contribute to the development of interconnected local energy network management systems to make better use of the synergies between these networks.
INTERPRETER
INTERPRETER will overcome these limitations by means of a modular grid management solution consisting of a set of 10 software applications for an optimal design, planning, operation and maintenance of the electricity grid
TALENT
The TALENT project aims to increase the flexibility of the electrical system by reducing the cost associated with the integration of batteries in the electrical network.
SocialRES
The SocialRES project seeks to increase scientific knowledge about the non-technological aspects that prevent the adoption of social energy alternatives such as cooperatives, aggregators or crowdfunding platforms.
OptiGrid
The objective of the Optigrid project is the research and development of concepts and services that allow greater flexibility in electricity generation and demand.
LIFE NEXUS
Urban water networks could became a source of renewable energy. Energy harvest in water industry using micro-hydropower technology.
HPCONGRID
HPC Ongrid project collaborates with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) in the develop and programming of different components of a hybrid generation plant controller.
