Imagine a giant factory that uses as much power as a small city. Instead of just taking electricity from the grid, this project helps these facilities act like a giant battery that can give energy back when needed. It also captures the heat that usually escapes into the air and puts it to use in local heating systems.
Large-scale research and industrial facilities consume massive amounts of electricity and waste significant heat, increasing costs and carbon footprints while straining the electrical grid.
The project built energy-oriented models and prototypes for waste heat recovery and grid flexibility, tested across three large-scale infrastructures.
If you are a grid operator dealing with unstable power from renewables — this project developed energy flexibility models that allow large facilities to deliver services to the electrical grid. This helps stabilize the power supply across Europe.
If you are a thermal engineering firm dealing with inefficient energy loss — this project developed Waste Heat Recovery solutions. These systems capture excess heat from large-scale equipment to feed local heating networks.
If you are a plant manager dealing with high carbon footprints and energy costs — this project developed a multi-energy approach to increase resource efficiency. It validates these solutions at a real scale using three major European infrastructures.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
Yes, the project focuses on validating solutions at the real scale of three landmark ESFRI infrastructures, including the European Spallation Source.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding the IP or licensing agreements.
The project develops a global energetic approach that allows electro-intensive actors to deliver flexibility services directly to the European electrical grid.
The project runs from March 1, 2024, to February 28, 2027.
The consortium is a balanced mix of 10 partners across 7 countries, combining high-level research with industrial application. With a 20% industry ratio including specialized players like Alfa Laval and Energy Pool, the project ensures that the energy flexibility models are grounded in commercial reality and technical feasibility.
