AGISTIN
Advanced Grid Interfaces for Innovative STorage Integration
Description
AGISTIN will enable industrial users to rapidly deploy renewable energy through advanced integration of innovative energy storage technologies. The rapid decarbonisation of industry through electrification, the growth of renewables and the need for grid stability represents a unique opportunity for new forms of storage and schemes for grid integration.
The main objective of the project are to develop new forms of energy storage that meet grid needs for flexibility and short-term stability, to reduce the impact of new and high demands on the grid and to reduce costs for large grid users through innovative storage integration. This project will go beyond the state of art for aqueous battery solutions, the use of irrigation systems as energy storage and the design of grid interface devices that enable the provision of advanced grid services to large industrial users.
Two demonstrations and three test activities focusing on renewable hydrogen electrolysis, irrigation pumping, and fast charging of electric vehicles are used to demonstrate advanced concepts on energy storage and grid integration.
The technologies directly addressed in the project includes aqueous electrochemistry recoveries, with properties between supercapacitors and batteries, the use of irrigation systems as energy storage and aluminium-ion batteries. The consortium consists of members from 9 countries and that includes all the value chain for a better exploitation of the project results that includes: storage and suppliers of electronic power, industrial grid users, a grid operator, an engineer consultancy, research institutes, universities and an energy storage association.
Objectives
- To demonstrate three energy storage innovative technologies that complement the storage technologies existent: aqueous electrorecovery (ECR), aluminium ion batteries and the innovative use of irrigation systems as storage.
- To develop and demonstrate advanced grid interfaces to integrate the energy storage on the grid, industrial processes and renewable energies.
- Helping industrial grid users minimise grid access needs by implementing integrated energy storage to reduce operational and investment costs while increasing renewable capacity.
- Demonstrate the integration of innovative storage with three representative use cases of future demand drying across Europe: renewable hydrogen production, pumping and electric vehicle charging.
Actions
- Strategies for the optimisation of the use of hydraulic pumping as energy storage system.
- Methodology for the analysis of life cycle in storage systems.
Expected results
- Algorithms for an optimal management of pumping systems as energy storage methods.
- Life cycle analysis of the new batteries prototypes developed on the project.
R&D Line
- Research in advance control algorithms for the optimal planning of hybrid energy grids (couplling sector), distributed and with storage.

Networking
Smart Grids projects:
D-HYDROFLEX
D-HYFROFLEX seeks research into technological innovations in hydropower plants in search of improved efficiency and sustainability and hydropower competitiveness in modern electricity markets. The project will develop tools for the digital renovation of existing hydroelectric plants based on sensors, digital twins, artificial intelligence, hydrolyser modelling and image processing.
SINNOGENES
SINNOGENES project aims to develop the Storage INNOvations (SINNO) energy toolkit, a complete framework of methodologies, tools and technologies that will enable the grid integration of innovative storage solutions beyond the state-of-the-art, while demonstrating sustainability, technical performance, lifetime, nondependency on location geogrpahical particularities and cost.
PISTIS
PISTIS brings forward a reference federated data sharing/trading and monetisation platform for secure, trusted and controlled exchange and usage of proprietary data assets and data-driven intelligence.
CERFLEX
CERFlex project consist on research in development and TIC solutions implementation moods that help to the deployment in a new concept of energy communities, especially focus on rural environment, facilitating a decentralized management of the energy interchange, the maximum utilisation of the renewable resources and a sustainable consume of the available resources.
GEDERA
GEDERA is a research project whose objective is the study and development of a multi-agent architecture that allows the development of applications for the smart grid, focusing the project on the management of flexibility in buildings.
EVPLAN
EVPLAN looks for developing tools that use as strategic decision making base that benefit users and future consumers of the electric vehicle
TIGON
The proliferation of renewable energies and the electric charges that operates with continuous current originates a growing interest in electric grids that operates with continuous current. This is due to the higher efficiency, security, flexibility and feasability that grids have than those ones that operates with alternate current.
MUSEGRIDS
The MUSE GRIDS project wants to contribute to the development of interconnected local energy network management systems to make better use of the synergies between these networks.
INTERPRETER
INTERPRETER will overcome these limitations by means of a modular grid management solution consisting of a set of 10 software applications for an optimal design, planning, operation and maintenance of the electricity grid
TALENT
The TALENT project aims to increase the flexibility of the electrical system by reducing the cost associated with the integration of batteries in the electrical network.
SocialRES
