AGRED
Advanced algorithms for distribution network management
Description
The overall objective of the AGRED project is to generate a series of tools aimed at facilitating the management of distribution networks and networks of sensors and equipment related to energy management.
Objectives and Actions
- Design and development of a battery sizing tool that provides both technical and economic KPIs and analyzes the investment required for a specific plant. This tool must have a graphical user interface for presenting results, entering user-specified parameters, uploading and saving files, etc.
- Design and development of a universal edge gateway based on the “single data” concept and a universal building API. This gateway will ensure interoperability across multiple domains and directions (northbound and southbound interoperability), covering both technical (protocols) and semantic interoperability, as well as interoperability with external services.
- Design and development of a BMS (Building Management System) that integrates the following modules: signal visualization, system management, system control, and alarm management.
Expected Results
- Functional technical-economic analysis tool for the optimal sizing of energy storage systems, capable of calculating key performance indicators (KPIs) and estimating the economic returns associated with different operating scenarios in distribution networks.
- A universal operational gateway based on edge architecture that integrates communication protocols and ontologies, enabling the collection, storage, and management of data from sensor networks, ensuring both technical and semantic interoperability at different infrastructure levels (northbound and southbound), as well as efficient connection to external services.
- A building energy management platform implemented on edge nodes that provides real-time control and monitoring of systems, integrating data visualization, equipment management and control, and alarm monitoring and processing capabilities.
Technological Service
- Research into advanced and intelligent strategies for the management, operation, flexibility, and maintenance of buildings based on AI/ML/DL for the generation of decision-making support systems.

Networking
Smart Cities projects:
SGA2-NZC
NetZeroCities (NZC) project’s main objective is to support cities selected by the European Commission to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, in line with the 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission.
MOBILITIES FOR EU
MOBILITIES for EU aims to accelerate the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality through innovative solutions in passenger and freight mobility.
SGA1-NZC
SGA1-NZC has as an objective give support to 100 cities selected to be intelligent and climate neutral by 2030.
ASCEND
ASCEND aims to accelerate the implementation of Positive Clean Energy Districts (PCEDs) for the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality and social justice in Europe. To this end, Ascend will carry out the following measures.
SUPERSHINE
SUPERSHINE project is based on the renvoation of 3 pilot lighthouse districts focusing on the needs of the social housing inhabitants and on social assets generating high social capital and cohesion.
MOVE2CCAM
The project has as main objective to quantify the impact of the massive deployment of autonomous and connected mobility solutions in Europe through the development of a tool based in systems dynamic that will be build as of citizens and organizations perceptions collected in co-creation activities.
NEUTRALPATH
NEUTRALPATH has an objective to demonstrate the deployment of clean and positive energy districts (PCED) designed through participative processes focused on the citizen and that contributes significantly to the transformation of cities towards climate-neutrality at the time horizon 2030.
REHOUSE
REHOUSE project has as main objective the development and demonstration, up to TRL7, of 8 renovation innovative technologies packages, designed for covering a wide range of building renovation actions, allowing overcome the actual barriers that makes the renovation rates in Europe being low.
NetZeroCities
NetZeroCities recognisses the need for cities to develop specific strategies that are tailores to suit local and regional contexts, and will support them by aggregated and co-desgined services and thematic expertise through a one-stop-shop platform accessible to all cities through an online portal (Mission Platform)
ATELIER
ATELIER is a demonstration project whose main objective is the design, implementation and validation of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Amsterdam and Bilbao
MAKING-CITY
MAKING-CITY’s main objective is to achieve low-carbon cities thanks to the development of strategies aimed at transforming the urban energy system.
MAtchUP
MAtchUP is a demonstration project whose main objective is the implementation of innovative technologies in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors
mySMARTLife
The mySMARTLife project seeks to create sustainable and ecological cities, increasing energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
Nature4Cities
Nature4Cities’ objective is to improve decision-making in cities with collaborative nature-based models that can be integrated into urban planning in cities.
SmartEnCity
SmartEnCity aims at a comprehensive sustainable urban regeneration model based on innovative technological solutions for energy, transport and ICTs
REMOURBAN
REMOURBAN’s objective is to develop and validate in three lighthouse cities (Valladolid-Spain, Nottingham-UK and Tepebaşı-Turkey) an urban, holistic and replicable regeneration model that facilitates the process of transforming urban environments into more sustainable and intelligent areas.
CITyFiED
The CITyFiED European project, co-financed by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program, aims to develop an integrated strategy to adapt existing cities to more sustainable and smart cities.
