E9 Smart Energy (incl. energy efficiency)

Objective of Proposal Idea:
Clean, affordable secure energy is one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The business model for energy is moving from a product, e.g. gas or electricity, to providing a service, e.g. power, heating and cooling and transport. Energy As A Network will expand this model and consider how ICT can help one SDG can address other SDGs Poverty, Hunger, Good Health and Wellbeing, Reduce Inequalities, Innovation, Industry and Infrastructure, etc. CELTIC Next Core Group members and collaborators will be familiar with ICT/Enabling Technology applications with IoT monitoring and controlling the decentralisation of generation, AI predicting supply and demand and[...]

BUSINESS VALUES  Deep insights into consumption patterns of your client base  Direct channel and customer engagement END USER VALUES  Comprehensive energy management solution for home or office  Reduces energy consumption and energy cost, can help to make better use of renewable energy sources

Objective of Proposal Idea:
Our vision is for an innovative yet user-friendly app, specifically for hospitality and retail SMEs, that will a) reduce the scope (and therefore cost) of energy audits, and b) provide bespoke recommendations for the most suitable and cost-effective energy efficiency (EE) building upgrades. These upgrades will support businesses to build back better following COVID-19, increase investment in EE upgrades, and ultimately contribute toward EU 2050 Net-Zero Carbon commitments. Our project will leverage investment in Considerate Group’s (CG’s) existing app; fluttr. The existing app (which does not currently use AI) encourages EE in SMEs through simple, jargon-free energy data visualisations and[...]

Objective of Proposal Idea:
Digital AI&IoT technology infrastructure upgrades and adaptations are accelerating in cities to address connected cities, buildings, storage battery technologies, renewable to grid integration, electric vehicles and all. Cities are looking for the most rational technological solution options to implement smart infrastructures and systems. Our project idea is for an AI and IoT based smart city energy management platform to be developed where the optimization will be studied both for the aspects of ICT and energy, addressing Celtic-Next and Eurogia. Optimum communication technologies, digitalized energy solutions, infrastructure, and user interactions will be studied, tested. The collaborative applicable innovative solutions will be[...]

Objective of Proposal Idea:
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are complex dynamic systems that depend on atmospheric conditions for energy generation and system operation & maintenance (O&M). In order to undertake effective O&M actions it is necessary to determine weather windows that enable accessibility to the farm. In this context, an updated health estimation of wind turbines is crucial to reduce costs and increase reliability. However, the OWF energy production is surrounded by uncertainties, such as wind speed, sea conditions, as well as the degradation process and interactions between electrical and mechanical components. Hence, remote and online condition monitoring and runtime maintenance planning are vital[...]
