EnergyVille has developed a number of products and tools to support decision making and to monitor the impacts from building renovation and energy transition programmes and initiatives. These tools allow to shift between various levels of details/scope: from the building …

City Portal is an interactive and smart platform with building data for collective renovation of residential buildings at district, city, provincial and regional level. In 2019 Fluvius provides this tool to all cities and municipalities in Flanders as a free service.

Increasingly more buildings and building districts combine several energy sources, both renewable and fossil, with different energy carriers such as electricity and heat. As a result, the integration and interactions of these different sources and carriers become more …

An EPD (environmental product declaration) is a standardized way to quantify the environmental performance of a product, process or system and to report on it. EPD’s are based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

There are many ways to make a house more energy efficient: insulate better, install a heat pump ... The EBECS algorithms of VITO/EnergyVille provide specific advice based on the size of the house and the energy consumption of the residents. Bank-insurer KBC, Cozie’s …

The cost-efficient, modular, high performant BMS for all your mobile and stationary energy storage packs The BattSense battery management system with dynamic cell balancing is designed to provide maximal safety, efficiency and an increased lifespan for cell-based electrical …

Batteries have changed the way we power our world. They provide us energy without being wired to a grid and are key to all mobile applications, from microbatteries (e.g. for medical implants or Internet of Things devices), over mid-range batteries (e.g. power tools) to large …

The existing distribution grid is facing a number of technical challenges in order to accommodate the increasing penetration of photovoltaic generation units. Voltage unbalances, thermal overloads, and over-voltage issues are just a few of them that arise with high levels of …

EnergyVille’s dynamic balancing technology allows for individual cells to be charged and discharged during operation. Although individual cells are functioning, at the same time all cells are continually charged and discharged by the application.

EnergyVille’s state-of-charge technology can estimate the amount of energy in a battery up to a few per cents accuracy , depending on its chemistry and application. The technology also takes into account the battery temperature which can have a significant influence on the …

Electric vehicles are becoming a viable alternative for most transportation needs. EnergyVille wants to facilitate the large scale adoption of electric vehicles, and is developing and implementing new concepts for a smart charging system.

The smart grid controller for domestic devices is a control box which allows regular domestic devices to be started ‘automatically’ by an active demand control system. This way the devices can be turned on when this suits the (smart) grid the best, but always within the …
