GEDERA
Intelligent flexible energy demand management in coupled hybrid grids
Description
GEDERA is a research project whose objective is the study and development of a multi-agent architecture that enables the development of applications for the smart grid, focusing the project on the management of flexibility in buildings. The vision of the project is that the multi-agent architecture will enable the possibility of interconnecting different services for data provision, control, prediction, optimal planning, etc. in a transparent way for the user.
Objectives
-
- Research and develop an architecture for the management of energy flexibility that contemplates sectoral coupling and enables the implementation of services in a scalable, secure and sustainable manner.
- Research and develop a new generation of electrical and thermal loads adapted to the provision of flexibility and enabling sectoral coupling.
- Research and develop advanced algorithms for the optimal planning of the operation of coupled hybrid grids with demand flexibility.
- Investigate the involvement of demand flexibility management in current and future electricity markets.
- Research and develop algorithms for applications that facilitate end-user participation in demand flexibility services in coupled hybrid energy grids.
Actions
- Research into new M2M communications protocols and standards, with devices in the electricity grid, as well as with user interaction devices.
- Prediction of energy generation and demand in residential environments.
- Flexible power prediction resulting from demand flexibility in residential environments.
- Development of algorithms for market trading for future aggregators.
- Ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of communications between storage plant operators and with the market.
Expected Results
- Selection of an M2M communication protocol appropriate to the architecture and needs of the project. Programming and implementation of the same.
- Algorithms for predicting energy generation and demand in residential environments.
- Algorithms for predicting demand flexibility in terms of available active power.
- Algorithms for market negotiation for future aggregators.
- Registration of activities with Blockchain.
R&D Line
- Research on control algorithms for flexible demand, demand response and market participation.

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.
ADCONTROL
ADCONTROL is a project that focuses on implementing asset monitoring and control architectures to manage the comfort of dwellings that are part of condominiums or neighbourhoods.
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.
