Our research showcase

The ConnectSME project facilitates demonstration projects on durable technological innovations, developed by SMEs in Flanders and the Southern Netherlands. The participating test gardens offer an environment for developing and demonstrating innovating technologies, all …

The European project INNTERESTING aims to accelerate wind energy technology development and to extend the lifetime of wind turbine components by developing innovative virtual and hybrid testing methods for prototype validation of pitch bearing and gearbox components.

InduFlexControl aims to unlock and control the flexibility of energy-intensive processes and power-to-X technologies to optimally reduce CO2 in a way that is suited to the overall industrial and energy eco-system.

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 …

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 …
