The European project EVELIXIA, in which we collaborate with partners from across Europe, explores how this transformation can be achieved. The aim is to increase the energy flexibility of buildings through smart control systems, storage solutions, and the integration of different energy sectors. This is how real “Buildings as Active Utility Nodes” are created.
From October 1–2, our colleagues Giulia Garzon and Andrea Kollmann attended the 5th General Assembly of the project in Quimper (Brittany, France). In addition to exciting discussions on the project’s progress, the agenda also included a visit to Entech Smart Energies:
There, an industrial pilot site demonstrates how electrolyzers, fuel cells, and an energy management system (EMS) work together seamlessly to produce green hydrogen on-site, store it, and make optimal use of solar power.
