Our research showcase

The EU-funded EUniversal project will enable the transformation of the electricity grid by resolving existing limitations in the energy system through the introduction of a universal market enabling interface (UMEI). The project’s aim is a new multi-energy and multi-consumer …

The CoordiNet project will help to demostrate how DSOs and TSOs shall act in a coordinated manner and use the same pool of resources to procure grid services in the most reliable and efficient way through the implementation of large scale “TSO-DSO-Consumer” demonstrations …

MAGNITUDE aims to develop business and market mechanisms as well as supporting coordination tools to provide flexibility to the European electricity system, by increasing and optimizing synergies between electricity, gas and heat systems.

The FlexPlan project aims at establishing a new grid planning methodology considering the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements.

Estimations suggest that an increased efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) appliances above the Shockley-Queisser single-junction limit is related to the creation of tandem devices. The EU-funded PERCISTAND project will focus on the development of innovative materials and …

In the period of 2019-2021, EnergyVille/VITO will continue to be a key partner for the European Environment Agency, as coordinating partner of the European Topic Centre (ETC) on Climate change Mitigation and Energy.

The SmILES project aims at merging knowledge about smart integration of storage in hybrid energy system (heat and electricity) on national level for a reasonable instrumentation of storage and renewable energy technologies on European level.

In the InterConnect (Interoperable Solutions Connecting Smart Homes, Buildings and Grids) project 51 European entities gather to develop and demonstrate advanced solutions for the digitalisation of the electricity sector. Seven large-scale pilots will be installed in seven …

Flexible Heat and Power, connecting heat and power networks by harnessing the complexity in distributed thermal flexibility.

Over the years the electricity market has significantly changed. Because of the growing share of for example solar and wind energy, our energy has been generated ever more locally. In today’s system, the energy which is not immediately used is sent to the grid. But couldn’t …
