Exciting updates from Brussels! Christos Korkas [CERTH] and Matteo Geralta [MAPS] recently attended the CINEA meeting for Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) on 23/24 September. They had the opportunity to present our project, Harmonise, and engage in valuable discussions on interoperability issues within PEDs, as well as the integration of community energy systems. It was a productive session, with interactions alongside 17 other PED-related projects, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing in this growing field of energy innovation. #PEDs #Harmonise #EnergyInnovation #CINEA #Sustainability #CommunityEnergy #Interoperability

At HARMONISE, we’re developing advanced predictive AI models to transform the way energy is consumed, generated, and optimized at the local level. Our goal? To make energy management smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly! Through self-learning and self-adaptive AI algorithms, we can predict energy consumption and flexibility potential while respecting user comfort. This AI-driven approach ensures assets operate at peak efficiency with minimal impact on comfort, while optimizing energy use for the highest savings and sustainability. What’s in store: 🤖 Self-monitoring: Automatic detection of changes and issues 🔧 Self-healing: Real-time system reprogramming to fix problems 🔄 Self-optimizing: Proactive decisions to improve performance, energy efficiency, and user comfort With our AI models, PEDs will see: 🌍 15% improvement in energy efficiency 💰 15% cost reduction 🌿 15% reduction in carbon emissions 💡 7% better prediction accuracy 😌 10% boost in user comfort By leveraging data and energy exchange platforms, PEDs can sell surplus energy, access power from the grid when needed, and contribute to grid stability. Let’s lead the way toward more sustainable, intelligent cities! 🌱 #AI #EnergyManagement #Sustainability #SmartCities #Innovation #HARMONISE #CleanEnergy

🌟 Dive into the future of sustainable living with Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)! 🌟 PEDs are revolutionizing urban areas by creating communities that generate more energy than they consume. This isn't just about being green—it's about optimizing energy flow, reducing carbon emissions, and ensuring sustainable growth tailored to local needs! 🏡💡🌍 🚀 HARMONISE's Mission: Tool Development: We’re crafting cutting-edge tools to help PED managers design and implement efficient solutions. These tools will take into account local climate, regulations, and community input. District Information Modelling (DIM): By using DIM, we’ll get a detailed view of energy demands, helping us place renewable energy sources (like solar panels and wind turbines) and storage units exactly where they’re needed. 🌞 Key Success Indicators: 20% growth in renewable energy generation 20% reduction in carbon emissions 10% increase in Internal Rate of Return Full compliance with local standards Integration of innovative smart grid or energy management tools By integrating surplus energy generation into districts and buildings, we aim to boost energy efficiency and reduce carbon output, making our energy systems more sustainable and efficient! 🌱⚡ Join us in paving the way for a greener, smarter, and more resilient future! 🌟🔋💼 #Sustainability #PositiveEnergyDistricts #RenewableEnergy #SmartCities #Innovation #HARMONISE

🌍🔋 Ready to Power Up Europe? Let’s talk Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)! PEDs are the superheroes of sustainable communities—they produce more energy than they consume, slashing our reliance on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. 🌱🌟 Imagine a cleaner, more resilient, and cost-effective energy system! 💡💰 But that’s not all! PEDs empower local communities, boosting energy independence and security. 🔌🏘️ They’re the EU’s ticket to a greener future, creating green jobs, improving air quality, and promoting energy efficiency. 🌳🌍 The EU aims for 100 PEDs by 2025 and a whopping 55% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, with net-zero emissions by 2050. 🌠 To hit these targets, we need smart, scalable, and interoperable solutions that integrate local renewables like solar and wind power. 🌞🌬️ Sure, there are challenges—scaling up energy systems, integrating diverse energy sources, and overcoming technical and regulatory hurdles. But with teamwork and innovation, we can make it happen! 🤝🔧 Join the movement and be part of Europe’s energy revolution through Harmonize! 🌍Let’s create a low-carbon, sustainable future together. #PositiveEnergyDistricts #SustainableFuture #GreenEnergy #EUClimateGoals #EnergyIndependence #GreenJobs #CleanEnergy

Last Wednesday and Thursday, on June 26 and 27, the first Harmonise Kick-Off Meeting took place. During this meeting, each partner presented their respective project work packages and specific tasks aimed at transforming buildings, neighborhoods, districts, and cities into positive energy districts (PEDs). These supercharged neighborhoods will cut greenhouse gases, boost local energy control, and create green jobs. Imagine 100 PEDs by 2025, slashing emissions by 55% by 2030, and hitting net-zero by 2050! The meeting laid the foundation for a productive journey ahead, with meticulous planning for the initial activities now in place, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the project's objectives. Stay tuned for further updates.
