We presented three H2020 projects focused on energy storage and interoperability between flexibilities in a webinar hosted by the Energy Community. We are devoted to contribute to Europe's full-speed decarbonization efforts, such as the Green Deal, which has the objective to make the EU economy more sustainable and to strive to be the first climate-neutral continent.

No batteries, no decarbonization

For decarbonization to work, the continued shift away from fossil fuels is key. The increased use of renewable energy sources from wind, solar, and hydro power is a strong foundation to reduce emissions and the carbon-intensity of their electricity. With Europe’s goal to become climate-neutral by 2050, the essential driver for the future energy system is storage. With energy storage, a high penetration of energy from renewable sources is made possible.

Energy Community webinar on energy storage

Batteries and storage systems represent a strategic part in the ongoing transition to clean mobility, clean energy systems, and ultimately, to decarbonization. The Energy Community invited four experienced panelists to share knowledge on the various aspects of storage systems, including technology, costs, services, and the regulatory environment.

Pooling flexible resources

In our panelist presentation, we showcased the CyberNoc Flexibility Management Platform and its ability to pool flexible resources into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Based on scalable algorithms, this platform unlocks the flexible potential from consumers, distributed generators and storage devices. Since this cross-border solution has been applied and proven in several European-wide research projects under the H2020 program, we presented three EU projects currently in underway.

1. The Crossbow project: focused on the integration of batteries into a sustainable energy system to leverage the battery value chain, from materials to system integration and recycling. CyberGrid’s involvement will entail the development of the cooperative ownership of flexibility assets and the creation of a toolset for the transnational ancillary and wholesale market, respectively.

2. The InterConnect project: aims to advance the democratization of efficient energy management by demonstrating a real digital flexibility market for electrical systems. Using CyberNoc software solution, CyberGrid will lead efforts to integrate all 7 pilot demonstrations. Project results are expected to ensure energy-efficiency at reduced costs that is beneficial to end-users.

3. The TALENT project: the main objective is to achieve the increase of batteries penetration in the grid. CyberGrid leads the development of a distributed architecture for the management of decentralized and hybridized energy systems. The goal is to develop an optimization method to increase battery life.

All four panelist presentations emphasized the fact that even today there was a strong business case for investing into energy storage. In terms of policy, authorities should enable the increased use of energy storage, with market-based mechanisms, compliant with State rules.
