Our research showcase

Smile-IT is a strategic basic research project in which artificial intelligence is applied to communication and power system networks. The project focuses on multi-agent reinforcement learning and a robust interaction software framework to model such networks and its actors. …

The European STRATEGO project aims to help national and local authorities develop a policy vision for sustainable heating and cooling plans. Although the demand for heat is twice as high as the demand for electricity, the heating policy is just starting to be developed, …

STORM tackles energy efficiency at district level. It aims to demonstrate that, thanks to a smart District Heating & Cooling (DHC) networks’ controller, energy savings can reach up to 30%. In that perspective, the project partners will develop a controller based on self …

In the SmarThor project, EnergyVille is developing an ICT platform that can control a fully integrated multi-energy system, using EnergyVille’s own algorithms. We aim for real-life and properly functioning demos in residential areas or industrial sites with an optimally …

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 …

Decarbonising the energy consumption in buildings is essential to achieve the EU energy and climate goals. While the use of renewable electricity in buildings has grown steadily, the uptake of renewable energy solutions for heating and cooling has been slower. The EU Horizon …

The PROCURA project looks at the role of power-to-X in multi-energy systems and markets. Scenario studies worldwide show that Power-to-x (gas (e.g. H2, Methane), chemicals, liquid fuels) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) can become crucial technologies in achieving …

The ROLECS project is a FLUX50 VLAIO-funded research project to transform the energy landscape in line with the position of the European Commission: more sustainable and with active participation of the end consumer. The concept aimed at by this project is Local Energy …
