TWAIN Project’s Post

Join the webinar on 16 September to find out how to access funding for EU collaborative research and innovation projects that support the energy transition.

Succesfully closed call for Networking and Event Support in 2024 Nordic Energy Research's programme Nordic Energy Research Mobility has shown great success during its first months in progress. One of the standout activities is the call Networking and Event Support that has now been closed, granting funding to four well-planned events. The events are all initiated and managed by Nordic researchers and put focus on research fields relevant to sustainable energy where the inherent value of Nordic collaboration is evident. The four events are:  – Nordic Workshop for Nature-positive Solar Energy, Aalto University  – Nordic Offshore Wind Conference – Connecting the Baltic Sea with the North Sea, Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark  – Photovoltaic/Thermal Technologies and Applications in the Nordics: Challenges and Opportunities, DTU - Technical University of Denmark  – Energy Informatics Academy Nordic 2024, Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark The successful funding of these events has fully utilized our budget of 500,000 NOK for 2024. We are pleased to announce that the call will reopen on 1 January 2025.

New funding and webinar alert! 🤩 The 19 September is the opening date for the next Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) funding call. To support its launch a Scottish webinar has been organised on the 16 September, providing the latest information on this research and Innovation funding opportunity Registration and further details about the webinar: https://lnkd.in/eQ5GaPyQ The CETP covers numerous areas across the Energy Transition including different types of energy generation, storage and systems, CCUS, and heating and cooling. So,  if you are a Scottish company developing a project concept in any of these areas - or a researcher interested in collaboration, then this funding call and webinar may be of interest to you. For more information about about CETP visit the call website or get in touch with me. https://lnkd.in/exqJ4TNV The website includes full details of the funding call and also the projects funded in the first call.

Let us introduce: The winners of the Nordic Energy Challenge 2024! For the first time in Nordic Energy Challenge history, we have a shared first place in the winners' stand. Congratulations to Julia Kirch Kirkegaard and Tom Cronin, as well as the KXT Team, led by Rune Kirt! The jury selected both proposals as winners because of the unmistakable potential of them working together, as they supplement each other to a high extent. An excerpt from the jury's motivation reads: "Both proposals embrace the crucial need for engaging citizens in large-scale renewable energy projects. While Julia’s and Tom's planning tool incorporates social parameters for the feasibility assessment of comprehensive energy projects, the KXT Team introduces a tool for simplifying the complexity of renewable energy projects through visualization and digital arts." Given the clear connections between the two winning proposals, the jury encourages the projects to collaborate in the future to maximise each other's competencies. We would also like to congratulate Xiaolei Bian and Changfu Zou on their third place for their idea "ChargeForward: Empowering citizens with AI to enhance battery health and sustainability". Nordisk Energiforskning looks forward to following up on the development of the exciting proposals. Thank you to all applicants for participating in the Nordic Energy Challenge and best of luck in future commitments!

I'm more than thrilled to announce that our project, "Resilient Operation of Active Distribution Networks Dominated Power Systems," has received funding from the Independent Research Fund Denmark under their "Independent Green Research" call! 🌱🔋 As we transition towards a 100% renewables-based power system, the existing system will undergo big changes. Distribution grids are evolving into Active Distribution Networks that have the potential to significantly contribute to a stable and secure operation of the power system. In this project, we will challenge the existing operation paradigms, by exploring non-hierarchical, distributed controls seeking to enhance the efficiency, stability, and #resilience of future power systems. Our goal is to develop innovative methods and tools to make the power grid more resilient against faults, disturbances, and cyberattacks. https://lnkd.in/dE3YuJ46 A huge thank you to the Independent Research Fund Denmark for believing in our project. Excited for the journey ahead! 🚀 DTU - Technical University of Denmark, DTU Wind and Energy Systems #GreenEnergy #Renewables #PowerSystems #Innovation #ResearchFunding #SustainableFuture #GridResilience

💥 Register now for #EnergyOceania2024 and join the 5th Edition of the Global Renewable Energy Meet 2024! Be part of the movement shaping the future of global energy. https://lnkd.in/fUV9A-J 🌟 Welcoming Our Honorable Session Chair for the Energy Oceania 2024 Conference 🌟 We are delighted to introduce Dr. Xu Liu, DECRA Fellow and Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), as the session chair for Renewable Energy Systems and Standards! Dr. Liu obtained his Ph.D. from the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW in 2018. Over the past eight years, he has focused his research on developing low-cost, high-efficiency thin-film and tandem solar cells. His work initially centered on earth-abundant chalcogenides semiconductor materials and has since expanded to inorganic-organic perovskite materials for solar photovoltaic applications. We are thrilled to have Dr. Liu leading this critical session and look forward to the innovative insights he will bring to the conference! 🎉 🔗 Submit your abstract today!

🌀 TWAIN is the work of all partners, and today we'll know more about the role of Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER) - National Renewable Energy Centre in the impact throughout the project. ✍️ For Irene Eguinoa, CENER will, as scientific and technical coordinator of the project, contribute "to the advanced data-driven modelling of complex wind farm operations and to the development of an open-source integrated decision-support tool. This tool will empower wind farm owners and operators to make better informed decisions throughout the wind farm lifetime by bringing together the broader impacts of plant operation and strategic management." #twainproject #windpower #windfarm #windenergy #artificialintelligence ________ DTU Wind and Energy Systems | Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER) - National Renewable Energy Centre | Delft University of Technology | Technical University of Munich | F6S Innovation | ENGIE GREEN | Laborelec | EDF | Ramboll | SoftServe

🌀 TWAIN's partners, ENGIE GREEN and its R&D center, Laborelec, are major actors in the production of renewable energy and are now working on improved procedures and research on Wind Farm Control (WFC). ✍️ In the words of Ariane Frère, Research Program Manager, "on top of providing wind farm data to the consortium, ENGIE Laborelec will be acting in the evaluation of flow and load modeling methods, as well as in the integration of the adapted acoustics, birds and bats strategies. ENGIE Laborelec will contribute largely as well in the definition and evaluation of the use-cases integrating lifetime and environmental aspects." #twainproject #windpower #windfarm #windenergy #artificialintelligence ________ DTU Wind and Energy Systems | Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER) - National Renewable Energy Centre | Delft University of Technology | Technical University of Munich | F6S Innovation | ENGIE GREEN | Laborelec | EDF | Ramboll | SoftServe

🚨 NEW: https://lnkd.in/d8cHsukG 🚨 🇱🇹 SoliTek, a leading innovator in solar technology, in collaboration with StalCorp, has launched innovative photovoltaic noise barrier projects in Lithuania. These projects are among the first in the Baltic states to merge solar energy production with noise reduction. 🇩🇪 A German research team is field-testing new module concepts that can be integrated into noise barrier walls alongside roadways and railways, aiming for cost-effective, power-generating solutions (pv magazine Global). 🇨🇦 Mitrex is deploying PV noise barriers with a capacity of 1.2 MW per kilometer (Sustainability Journal). 🇪🇺 According to research from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, PVNBs align with the #EuropeanSolarCharter, which encourages innovative solar energy solutions integrated into various infrastructures. This approach not only boosts EU competitiveness but also diversifies energy sources (Environmental Science and Pollution Research).
