WP1
Novel and innovative use-cases are the basis for the decarbonization of the island and the improvement of access to energy through a standardized, scalable and interoperable architecture.
WP2
Innovative state-of-the-art energy-economy systems modelling tools customised to the specificities of islands bring positive impacts by analysing and proposing transition strategies aiming to reduce emissions in Mayotte, increasing RE, reducing energy costs, enhancing the active participation of consumers and creating new high-quality jobs.
WP3
The solutions to be developed can go beyond the technical applications, involve the local population and ultimately lead to positive social changes, the empowerment of the disadvantaged population and the development of new business models and impact on the local economy.
WP4
Meta-results of a survey-based assessment were compared to other settings like mainland and island systems. Findings allow to tailor a suitable demand response scheme for island energy systems in general.
WP5
Innovative flexibility services are showcased using different technologies in the areas of residential demand response, industrial demand response and renewable energy virtual power plants.
WP6
The systems and cold production allow for better use of solar energy and avoid the waste of renewable power that can't be injected into the grid at times of greatest generation. The storage system contributes to a stable grid frequency. Capabilities of the storage include energy to a Local Energy Community and hydrogen production for P2H2P in support of local industry.
WP7
The FMTP enables efficient management of various distributed flexibilities offered by individual large assets or aggregated by different sub-systems like VPPs throughout the island. The utilization and monetization of these distributed flexibilities will be based on the island power system operational needs and requirements. The FMTP will support products for frequency balancing (FCR, aFRR) as well as for peak load reduction for the entire system or in dedicated branches. A further outcome will be the design of a state-of-the-art remote terminal unit (RTU), a hardware device that enables secure and reliable communication between the FMTP and field assets. FMTP and RTU support state-of-the-art ICT security.
WP8
An integration and complementarity analysis based on techno-economic parameters as well as lab tests ensure that individual systems will work properly in Mayotte and give insights also beyond the context.
WP9
Successful deployment results in a increase of renewable energies in Mayotte, a decrease of GHG emissions, more flexibility, more stability, more environmentally aware customers, new jobs in the field of smart grids and synergies between the power grid and the transport network.
WP10
The modelling tools are tailored and customised to specificities of the five follower islands and enhance the societal impacts of by supporting the island-scale strategies to reduce emissions, increase RE, reduce energy costs and create new jobs related.
WP11
The MAESHA dissemination and communication plan has been prepared and implemented to manage and ensure widespread dissemination and communication of the project launch and results.
