ECS4DRES targets the ambitious objective of pursuing flexible, coordinated, and resilient distributed energy systems, developing several
innovation activities, specifically: – realization of a multi-modal energy hub – exploiting renewable energy sources – realized by means
of dedicated high-efficiency power electronics converters – multi-modal energy storage devices – sophisticated energy management
algorithms enabling the local balances between energy production, storage, and consumption, ECS4DRES will strengthen the long-term
reliability, safety, and resilience of DRES by developing advanced monitoring and control technologies, including integrated sensors
provided with energy harvesting functions, capable of different types of detection for safety purposes, and for monitoring of energy
transfers. ECS4DRES will also achieve interoperable and low-latency communication systems, as well as algorithms, AI tools, and
methods, enabling the widespread interconnection, monitoring, and management of a large number of DRES, subsystems, and components
to realize optimal energy management between sources, loads, and storage, to improve power quality, and to enable a resilient system
operation. Most of all, ECS4DRES commits to performing a thorough validation of all the above with a set of 5 relevant use cases
and demonstrators. By exploiting the project results, ECS4DRES will generate a wide range of scientific, technological, economic,
environmental and societal impacts of global scale, fulfilling the needs of e.g., OEMs, DSOs, grid operators, EV charging stations
aggregators, energy communities, end customers, and academia. ECS4DRES will provide interoperable and tailored solutions in the form of
electronic control systems, sensor technology and smart systems integration for the deployment and efficient and resilient operation of
DRES, including integration of hydrogen equipment and components.
