Recap Capacity Building Training Session on Lampedusa Island
We embarked on a series of capacity building training sessions for Lampedusans – citizens, stakeholders, and students. Between the 22nd and 27th of November, a total of 8 training sessions took place in the marine protected area and in the local school where we demystified climate change and decarbonisation of the island.
RECAP CAPACITY BUILDING TRAINING SESSION ON TERCEIRA ISLAND
Energy transition on islands is not only a matter of technology, but also about involving local citizens and stakeholders in the decision-making process. They are the ones who can shape the energy transition on their island! In this context, several training sessions took place last week on Terceira, Azores. Three training sessions were provided by New Energy Coalition, EDA, Regional Government of the Azores, UNINOVA and with guest speaker CleanWatts.
Utilising Energy Flexibility
We are developping a Centralized Dispatcher which is responsible for creating the optimal dispatch and control of all assets in the field trials at the islands of Ameland and Terceira. The goal of the Centralized Dispatcher is to utilise the energy flexibility offered by devices such as (Hybrid) heat pumps and match that with an increasing amount of intermittent renewable energy production from wind and solar PV.

Recap Community Engagement Training on Samsø
In April, a group of 19 people attended and trained during the Community Engagement Training on Samsø led by project partner New Energy Coalition A train-the-trainer approach to facilitate a knowledge base for IANOS partners and aims to train the project partners in engaging the local communities on their respective islands.

Τα περισσότερα Ευρωπαϊκά νησιά αντιμετωπίζουν κοινές ενεργειακές προκλήσεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένων α) της υψηλής εξάρτησης από ορυκτά καύσιμα β) της ηλεκτρικής (κυρίως) διασύνδεσής τους με ηπειρωτικά συστήματα, γ) της εποχικότητας του φορτίου κατανάλωσης τους, λόγω των μεγάλων αλλά σύντομων τουριστικών εισροών (αύξηση πάνω από 30% στα μικρά νησιά την τελευταία δεκαετία), και δ) της συνεχούς αυξανόμενης διείσδυσης δύσκολα προβλέψιμων ως προς την παραγωγή τους, Ανανεώσιμων Πηγών Ενέργειας (ΑΠΕ), που αντικαθιστούν συμβατικούς τρόπους παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Ταυτόχρονα τα παραπάνω επιφέρουν και σημαντική μείωση στην αδράνεια/στρεφόμενη εφεδρεία του συστήματος (κυρίως σε μικρά μη διασυνδεδεμένα νησιά). Όλα τα παραπάνω, μαζί με την αναγκαία εξασφάλιση της αδιάκοπης, απρόσκοπτης και ευσταθούς λειτουργίας του ενεργειακού (κυρίως ηλεκτρικού) δικτύου, έχουν ως αποτέλεσμα στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις, υψηλό οικονομικό και περιβαλλοντικό κόστος παραγωγής ή και μεταφοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στα ίδια τα συστήματά τους, σε σύγκριση με τα ηπειρωτικά.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) market platform development
– March 15, 2022 We implemented the self-consumption maximisation through P2P energy trading scenario through a platform, based on the Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT). The application of a P2P market platform enables prosumers in a local network to directly trade energy with each other, by avoiding renewables (RES) curtailment and future grid transport costs. The […]
Virtual Power Plant (iVPP) design
– March 15, 2022 After careful analysis of the different Use Cases’ needs, the IANOS project consortium proposed two different designs of the iVPP platform, one per each pilot island. The relevant deployments are illustrated below: A summary of the iVPP main SW modules’ functionalities and their current development status is presented below: Enterprise Service […]
IANOS Energy Planning and decision-making Toolkit
– March 15, 2022 The IANOS Energy Planning and decision-making Toolkit (IEPT) will be developed to assist the decarbonisation and smartification of the pilot islands. IEPT will constitute as a holistic tool able to evaluate the overall benefits expected from clean energy/smart grid interventions, from various perspectives, based on the viewpoint from each stakeholder (Municipality, […]
IANOS presents EDA
– Discovering eda Project partner interview to Paulo Bermonte and Felipe Mendonça What is your organization’s role? EDA, as the responsible entity for the electric system in Terceira (Azores), a lighthouse islands of the project, is, mandatorily, a key partner in the demonstration activities of IANOS. EDA’s focus on the project refers to the development […]
