In collaboration with the SUSTENANCE H2020 project, RE-EMPOWERED is hosting the session "EU-INDIA Collaboration for smarter energy systems: The RΕ-EMPOWERED & SUSTENANCE Projects" in the framework of the #MedPower conference!
India is undertaking ambitious policies for the energy transition while striving to increase electricity access and supply reliability. The country has become one of the largest PV markets globally, with large-scale solar farms and rooftop installations growing rapidly, while it is also a major player in wind energy and biomass. Moreover, it has made significant progress in rural electrification and the development of microgrids over the past decade. International collaborative research projects are currently taking place to facilitate this process. The EU-India RE-EMPOWERED project is developing and demonstrating novel microgrids/energy islands tools, including planning and operation tools, digital platforms, power electronic converters, etc. The EU-India SUSTΕNANCE project develops smart technological concepts to allow a higher share of local renewable energy and efficient integrated energy solutions for the electrical, heat, water, waste, and transportation infrastructure. The developed solutions/methods have been tailored to the specific needs of pilot cases in India and EU but aim at a wide target group for replication and exploitation in both the developed and developing world. This session will present the final outcomes of these two India-EU projects, highlighting the main achievements and lessons learned.
Attendance is free of charge for this particular session.
