Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
Projects are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
AI-driven forecasting algorithms and machine learning can optimize bidirectional energy transfers involving flexibility services that can help energy communities and jointly acting customers evolve in their role as active participants in the energy system, while ensuring the reduced burdens on DSOs and residual suppliers. Innovations in machine learning forecasting can help balance energy systems and enable active participation in a decentralized, resilient, and digitalized European energy landscape, optimizing self-consumption and reducing energy costs for consumers.
This topic is a Societal-Readiness pilot:
Selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative [1] and actively participate in its activities.
null
Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-8 by the end of the project – see General Annex B. Activities may start at any TRL.
