| * | Abbreviated name: | IBD_REDES_TRANSICION_ENERGETICA | | | Project title: | Modeling and assessment of electrical networks´ requirements for the energy transition in Spain | | | Funding entity: | Iberdrola España S.A.U | | | Start date: | January 2019 | | | End date: | December 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Michel Rivier Abbad, Tomás Gómez San Román, Rafael Cossent Arín, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Leslie Herding, Andrés Ramos Galán, Sara Lumbreras Sancho | | | Description: | The main objective of the research is to analyze the impact on electricity networks of the connection of new renewable plants on the 2030 horizon under different possible scenarios, and to develop proposals to facilitate the decarbonisation objectives to be achieved in the most efficient possible way. | | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | FLEXENER_IBD-GEN_ESCENARIOS | | | Project title: | FLEXENER: New 100% renewable, flexible and robust energy system for the integration of new technologies in generation, networks and demand - Scenarios | | | Funding entity: | Iberdrola Generación España, S.A.U | | | Start date: | October 2020 | | | End date: | December 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Michel Rivier Abbad, Tomás Gómez San Román, Álvaro Sánchez Miralles, Francisco Martín Martínez, Andrés Ramos Galán, José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Stefanía Gómez Sánchez, Leslie Herding, Teresa Freire Barceló | | | Description: | This project is part of the FLEXENER project. It corresponds to one of the activities of said project. The main objective of the FLEXENER project is to investigate new technologies and simulation models in the field of renewable generation, storage systems and flexible demand management and operation of the distribution network. A 100% renewable and decarbonised energy mix is ??sought, effectively integrated into the electrical system of the future in a flexible, efficient and safe way.
In this context, this project or activity has been in charge of building future scenarios for 2030 that, based on the resources and technological equipment available at that time, determine an optimal mix of renewable generation technologies, storage systems and energy management. the demand that allows covering the demand for electricity with sufficient guarantees of supply reliability.
These scenarios have served to feed other activities of the FLEXENER Project that analyze aspects of the detailed electrotechnical behavior of the electrical networks in these conditions to investigate the technical feasibility of the system and explore possible solutions to the technical problems they present. | | | | |

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | BeFlexible | | | Project title: | BeFlex- Boosting Engagement to increase FLEXibility | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | September 2022 | | | End date: | August 2026 | | | Researcher(s): | José Pablo Chaves Ávila, Carmen Valor Martínez, Javier Matanza Domingo, Tomás Gómez San Román, Pablo Calvo Báscones, Matteo Troncia, Shilpa Bindu, Jesús José Fernández García, Eliana Carolina Ormeño Mejía, Valeria Karina Moreno, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Hernández, Morsy Abdelkader Morsy Mohammed Nour, Leslie Herding | | | Description: | Be-Flex project aims to overcome the existing limitations by demonstrating the implementation of versatile solutions that enable grids to become adaptable to upcoming scenarios, boosting mechanisms that will provide benefits to all actors in the energy market (from market and system operators to final users), giving response to all type of consumers’ needs. BeFlex aims at increasing energy system flexibility, enhancing cooperation among DSOs and with TSOs and easing participation of all energy-related actors through the validation and large-scale demonstration of adapted and proven cross-sectoral services, interoperable data exchange platforms for smart grids operation and the creation of required system architecture framework that will enable the creation of new business models providing additional value to meet consumers’ needs in compliance with a stable regulatory framework.
Comillas is in charge of: 1) developing the Regulatory Framework and Proposal for Efficient Flexibility Mechanisms, 2) Define the value proposition and engagement strategies of market actors 3) Guide the project the evaluation, lessons learnt, market uptake of the solutions and scalability of the project.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101075438
