Descrizione del progetto
Innovazione per l’integrazione delle rinnovabili nello stoccaggio dell’energia
La ricerca di uno stoccaggio competitivo dell’energia è legata alla transizione verso soluzioni di energia rinnovabile. La batteria a flusso redox interamente in rame (CuRFB), basata sulla tecnologia RFB, è progettata in modo semplice, modulare e scalabile e offre sicurezza e sostenibilità. Il progetto CUBER, finanziato dall’UE, dimostrerà che la tecnologia RFB può essere integrata nelle città intelligenti e nei segmenti di mercato dell’autoconsumo residenziale. Il suo sviluppo potrebbe consentire applicazioni più ampie come il sistema di back-up in zone isolate, per la gestione dell’energia e il bilanciamento della rete negli impianti di energia rinnovabile. Il progetto coordina un’ampia gamma di attori europei con l’obiettivo di elaborare progetti pilota operativi che confermino e introducano metodi innovativi per produrre e consumare energia rinnovabile nei siti urbani, rurali e industriali.
Obiettivo
The CuBER project proposes the validation of a promising RFB technology, the all-copper redox flow battery (CuRFB), able to cover a wide range of the aforementioned market applications due to its simple, modular and scalable design, security and sustainability. Firstly, a 5kWDC CuRFB pilot will be designed for its integration in Smart Cities and residential self-consumption market segments within the CuBER action. Subsequently, the planning of further developments will allow its application at larger scales, both as back-up power system in isolated areas (i.e. copper mining) and for energy management and grid balancing in renewable power production.
CuBER thus focuses first on improving the infrastructures for renewables self-consumption and grid integration within the Smart Cities and Net Zero Buildings concepts. It seeks to unify the expertise of different European actors in the field of Electrochemistry, Electrochemical Energy Storage, Electronics, Process Engineering, Smart Sensors, IoT´s and Solar Power Industries with the objective of deploying functional pilots capable of validating an holistic and innovative way of producing and consuming renewable energy in urban, rural and industrial areas all around the EU, that will change the actual O&M paradigm, increasing significantly the competitiveness of RFB energy storage solutions in the global energy sector and creating new business opportunities for the companies involved.
