ENFLATE

The fourth plenary meeting of the ENFLATE project took place in Paris on the 19th and 20th of November 2024. Participants of the partner organisations from nine countries within and outside the European Union gathered on the two days to discuss the progress within all the work packages, the challenges they are facing and how to overcome them. https://lnkd.in/eiMiEqBA

Die steigende Belastung unserer Stromnetze erfordert neue Lösungen. Das Pilotprojekt "ENFLATE-Strompilot" zeigt, wie durch intelligente Steuerung bestehender Flexibilitäten das Stromnetz entlastet und erneuerbare Energien besser integriert werden können. Ein Jahr lang testet die SAK gemeinsam mit der HSLU Hochschule Luzern wie flexibel sich Energieverbrauch und Einspeisung anpassen lassen, um den Netzbetrieb zu stabilisieren und teuren Leitungsausbau zu vermeiden. Haushalte können dabei aktiv mitwirken und profitieren.

A new webinar about the DemoSite in Eastern Switzerland will take place on October 15th. Discover the exciting integration of demand side flexibility from boilers & heat pumps and learn how real-time metering and control are being put to use in the ENFLATE demonstrator in eastern Switzerland. We are thrilled to invite you to a 60-minute webinar on October 15th at 10:00 CEST, organized by the ENFLATE project. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge from leading experts in the field. Register on https://lnkd.in/eybBM6rB

A new webinar is scheduled for the 30th of September between 1 pm and 2 pm CEST. It will explain how the Swedish partners—IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, EKSTA, and Noda Intelligent Systems—are developing an AI-driven model to analyse and optimise the local energy system using various energy sources and actively engaging the residents. Initial results show good potential for cost savings and reducing the impact of climate change. Participate via https://msteams.link/8CXA For details see: https://lnkd.in/encbzeA9

Looking forward to a great upcoming collaboration!

ENFLATE has a new partner project: Skillbill SKILLBILL project aims to create a robust foundation for accelerating the deployment of renewable energy by engaging stakeholders across the entire chain, promoting scientific culture, and enhancing skills at multiple levels. The project emphasizes to knowledge transfer through various pathways to ensure a comprehensive training of workers, increasing awareness about renewable energy sources , and fostering a more inclusive society. By targeting diverse education levels and work positions, SKILLBILL seeks to enhance both hard and soft skills, stimulate interest in RES, and provide clear, appropriate learning tools. SKILLBILL focuses on skilling, upskilling, and reskilling workers, technicians, and designers, while also offering awareness modules to combat misinformation, and bridge the gender gap. Through stakeholder engagement, knowledge sharing, and innovative learning methods, SKILLBILL is committed to supporting lifelong learning processes that are crucial for the ongoing development and updating of skills in the renewable energy sector.
