Imagine a farm that doesn't just grow food, but also acts like a smart power plant. This project creates a digital brain that helps farmers decide exactly where to put wind turbines or solar panels without ruining their crops. It's like a GPS for green energy, showing the best way to make money and save the planet at the same time.
Farmers face a conflict between using land for food production versus energy generation. Existing tools fail to provide data-driven guidance on how to balance these needs while remaining profitable.
An Agricultural Virtual Power Plant (AVPP) for scenario modelling and a Decision Support System (DSS) based on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis.
If you are a software provider dealing with farmers who struggle to integrate green energy — this project developed a Decision Support System (DSS) that provides actionable insights to optimize energy and food production.
If you are an energy operator dealing with unstable rural power grids — this project developed an Agricultural Virtual Power Plant (AVPP) that runs different scenarios to determine the best operation procedures for RES solutions.
If you are a bank dealing with high-risk loans for farm energy upgrades — this project developed new circular business models and scenario modelling to ensure the economic viability of RES deployment.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the AVPP and DSS are not provided.
Yes, the project demonstrates solutions across 4 diverse use cases in Spain, Italy, Denmark, and Norway to ensure scalability across different geographies and farm types.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding the licensing terms or patent status of the developed tools.
Yes, the project aligns with the Green Deal, Farm to Fork Strategy, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to help farmers meet climate neutrality goals.
Integration is achieved through a multi-actor approach and co-creation sessions, ensuring the tools reflect the actual needs of the farming community.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 8 industrial partners and 6 SMEs, representing a 47% industry ratio. This strong commercial presence, combined with 2 universities and 3 research centers across 8 countries, suggests the project is designed for market application rather than pure academic research.
