Project description
Novel technologies ensure the stability of smartgrids and the decarbonisation of islands
Exploiting the full potential of intermittent renewable energy sources like the sun and wind has received a helping hand from so-called virtual power plants (VPPs). VPPs remotely aggregate distributed energy resources from different physical locations into a network that reliably distributes energy around the clock. Islands face many challenges in terms of energy supply, demand side management and energy security. The EU-funded VPP4ISLANDS project is revolutionising conventional VPPs by integrating virtual energy storage technology, digital twin and distributed ledger technology to enable enhanced VPPs and the creation of smart energy communities on islands. The outcomes will enhance the uptake of clean green energy on islands, reducing emissions and costs while creating new opportunities for businesses and job growth.
