TALENT
Reduction of the cost associated with the integration of batteries in the electrical network.
The TALENT project pursues to increase the flexibility of the electric system by reducing the costs associated to the integration of batteries in the grid. To achieve it, three new technological elements will be developed: modular and scalable power electronic topologies, integration of new power electronic devices designed for specific voltage level, and finally systems to manage energy systems that are interoperable and able to be used as a service.
Objectives
- To develop power electronics for batteries in the 400-800V range, 5% more efficient and 20% less costly.
- To develop power electronics for 1.5 kV batteries based on new IGBT and FWD, 15% less costly.
- To develop power electronics for 3 kV batteries based on new MOSFET devices, 20% less expensive.
- To develop a new control architecture, combining cloud-based and local components that will allow to reduce cost in the integration of batteries in virtual power plants.
Actions
- To coordinate the project.
- To collaborate in the development and implementation of the cloud-based control architecture.
- To collaborate in the development of a battery digital twin.
Expected results
- Power electronics for medium and high voltage batteries that will be between 15% and 20% less costly that current market available products.
- Cloud-based control architecture for energy systems that will include a battery digital twin to improve battery management.

Networking
Smart grid 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.
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
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.
