LocalRes

LocalRES seeks to put the energy transition in the hands of communities and citizens, by designing local, renewable energy systems managed by Renewable Energy Communities. The project will produce digital tools to accelerate structural changes in energy systems.

A planning tool will be developed by Artelys, enabling long-term system scenarios and performance assessments, as well as facilitating the dissemination of analysis findings to the community.

ECMF

ECEMF is an H2020 project whose aim is to establish a European focal point for researchers and policy-makers in the field of energy and climate, in order to meet the key challenge of our time: achieving climate neutrality.

Drawing on its experience with the European METIS model, Artelys is developing a visualization module that can be integrated into web pages, enabling advanced, highly configurable visualization options to drive debate within the European community.

MOSES

As part of the MOSES project, Artelys is collaborating with the University of Geneva to support the Swiss Federal Office of Energy in analyzing the impact of the European electricity market reform on both Switzerland and Europe.

Following an analysis of the ongoing reforms, Artelys will use Artelys Crystal Super Grid to model possible evolutions of the European power system, focusing on their repercussions for Switzerland and its cross-border exchanges. This approach will provide both a global and targeted perspective, aiming to deliver recommendations to help Switzerland anticipate and adapt to the upcoming transformations of the electricity system.

FF4euroHPC

The FF4 project aims to demonstrate the benefits of high-performance computing for SMEs. The focus is on the development of large-scale simulations using HPC clusters.

Within the project, Artelys is addressing the problem of maintenance planning for power systems and networks, with a focus on the energy transition. Our aim is to set up a solution enabling the simulation of thousands of scenarios mixing climatic uncertainties and outages, in order to optimize the maintenance planning of production units.

Insulae

Insulae enables the deployment of innovative, cost-effective solutions for the decarbonization of European islands. A set of interventions relating to 7 smart-grid use cases presenting an attractive economic balance is deployed and tested on three pilot islands. The results were used to validate an investment planning tool (IPT), which was then tested on 4 “follower” islands.

The IPT is based on Artelys Crystal technology, and is deployed on each of the seven islands: Unije, Bornholm, Madeira, Menorca, Norderney, Bonaire and Psara.

NEXT

Coordinated by Artelys and in partnership with GEG, INRIA and L2EP, the aim of this project is to design and develop reference software for simulating and optimizing the sizing of flexible electrical distribution networks (production and consumption flexibilities, storage, multi-energy flexibilities, fine control of the network, etc.).

PLANHEAT

The aim of this H2020 project is to develop a GIS tool to help local authorities build low-carbon, economically viable alternative scenarios for the installation of heating networks.

As part of this project, Artelys is responsible for developing the integrated platform and designing an optimal layout and sizing module for the establishment or development of heating and cooling networks.

FrHyGE

FrHyGe is a five-year project funded by the European Union’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership. Its aim is to validate, on an industrial case study, the ability of underground hydrogen storage in salt caverns to provide flexibility services.

Artelys will carry out cost-benefit analyses of two industrial projects, as well as a pan-European replication analysis.

EMERGE

The aim of this project is to provide African decision-makers with the elements needed to increase the share of renewable energies in the energy production mix and move towards sustainable use of resources in all sectors of activity.

To this end, a toolbox is being developed to bring together energy system modeling approaches and simulation capabilities for prospective energy-climate scenarios. This will enable a cross-functional approach that takes account of technical, economic, climatic and social constraints.

META-BUILD

META-BUILD aims to make the decarbonization of Europe’s building stock operational through the development of cost-effective, integrated and replicable solutions. 6 pilot buildings located in different countries and climatic zones will serve as demonstrators.

Artelys’ role is to scale up the lessons learned from the pilot sites, by assessing the impact of Europe-wide penetration of the technologies used by META-BUILD in the Artelys Crystal Super Grid model with regard to Europe’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

TwinEU

The TwinEU project aims to create a digital twin for the entire European power grid, based on a vast consortium that also includes grid operators, market operators and players from the world of research.

Artelys will contribute to the consortium’s efforts to develop the concept of a European-wide digital twin, both by sharing its expertise in grid operation and by enriching the Artelys Crystal software suite with new developments in line with the project’s objectives.

JUST-GREEN AFRH2ICA

This project is positioned as an ambitious R&D program between Africa and Europe, involving players and experts in the field eager to promote green hydrogen as a pillar in the decarbonization of the African and European economies.

Artelys will enhance its multi-energy modeling tool Artelys Crystal Super Grid to include the modeling of multiple hydrogen value chains in Africa. In particular, the main transport technologies will be integrated.

SUPREMAS

This project aims to promote European leadership in bioenergy technology by encouraging decentralized gas systems. It will develop modular and mobile syngas production units.

Artelys is developing a decision support tool that will provide quantitative information on the value of integrating innovative units into local systems. The tool will assess logistical feasibility and inform on the optimal integration of mobile units into the local energy system.

SINNOGENES

The aim of the project is to contribute to the development of storage solutions, to help meet the ambitious targets of the Green Deal. A series of storage technology demonstrators are being studied and implemented: 6 pilot projects are being developed in 5 European countries.

Artelys will assess the impact of the storage services provided by the innovations developed in the first phase by integrating them into a multi-energy model of the European energy system under several time horizons.

U2DEMO

This project aims to facilitate citizen participation in peer-to-peer (P2P) trading and energy sharing, while ensuring equitable access to sustainable energy. The tools developed will be tested in 4 pilots in different energy communities, and each initiative will rely on blockchain technology to ensure traceability of activities.

Artelys will be responsible for implementing the peer-to-peer energy trading system, which can be integrated into the final platform.

HyNet

HyNet is an ambitious research and development project under the Horizon Europe framework. It aims to conduct an in-depth study on the operation of hybrid AC/DC grids and the deployment of innovative solutions to address the rapid growth of direct current technologies and the widespread adoption of distributed energy resources. Artelys will contribute significantly by developing solutions for the planning and operation of hybrid AC/DC grids, enhancing the Artelys Crystal Super Grid software on one hand, and utilizing the open-source PowSyBl framework for fine-grained security analysis on the other.

As part of this project, Artelys will also be responsible for the use case demonstrating the potential benefits of an HVDC interconnection in Norway.
