Horizon 2020 project

RENergetic

Community-empowered Sustainable Multi-Vector Energy Islands

The consortium of RENergetic is delighted to announce the start of this joint initiative selected and granted by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation programme.

The European Commission‘s aim is
to achieve the climate neutrality by 2050

How cities can achieve
energy neutrality?

The main reason why this Project has been conceived is to demonstrate the viability of the so-called urban energy islands.

The goal of the RENergetic project is to demonstrate the improvement of efficiency and energy autarky, the community involvement in and the socio-economic viability of three urban energy islands:  The New Docks in Ghent (BE), the Warta Campus in Poznan (PL) and the Hospital and Research campus in Segrate-Milan (Italy).

RENergetic empowers Renewable Energy Communities to inhabit Energy Islands based on an Economy of Quality (quality attributed to the value of living and working in a clean energy society), fueling their involvement in processes traditionally hidden for local communities such as heat supply.

RENergetic's goals

Maximize the level of energy autarky of a local energy system (energy island) and its share of renewable energy sources at energy consumption
Read more
Create energy island communities with formal underpinnings and a high level of personal identification that support a high intake of renewable energy sources in autarch energy islands
Read more
Enhance the economic attractiveness of renewable-based and autarch local energy systems (energy islands)
Read more
Ensure a high replication potential of the RENergetic solution across Europe with a special focus on the opportunities offered by local energy island communities

Innovative technologies will be used to achieve these goals

Digital Twins

Digital Twins

RENergetic will provide a societal, community and technical view on energy islands. Thereby, community members, as well as technical assets will be represented by a digital twin in the cloud-based RENergetic software platform, forming a virtual community of prosumers that exploit cross-sectorial energy vectors for the sake of carbon neutrality and the best possible socio-economical values to be achieved under the premises of island mode of operation.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence and smart control strategies (machine learning) at the edges of the power grid will play an increasingly important role in the near future. This will lead to a cognitive system where artificial grid intelligence and human intelligence blend within sustainable energy communities, predominantly characterized by renewable energy characteristic.
