Microgrid development platform as a basic energy solution for strategic enclaves in Iberoamerica
Description
Acces to energy services is of vital importance for the development of a community, especially for those in remote areas with difficult acces to general services or limited by their socio-economic situation.
To facilitate the development of these services, in this type of communities, it is imporant to develop a methodology and planning tools that assess the coverage of the energy demand considering an isolated electrification and whose objective is to reduce the cost of the kWh produced, facilitantig democratic acces to energy services to the whole community. Within this framework, CARTIF, together with the other project partners, proposed to develop a tool that allows the dimensioning of energy microgrids, including and analysing social aspects as key elements in their development.
Objectives
- Develop a platform to implement a methodology for the development and design of microgrids as a basic energy solution in strategic enclaves to be defined in Ibero-America, for whose validation and proposals for future implementation small-scale initiatives with potential for scalability and replicability at urban or rural level will be developed.
Actions
- Support in the definition of strategic enclaves through the evaluation of energy resources.
- Definition of monitoring and control requirements in microgrids at different user levels.
- Energy characterisation of strategic sites with dynamic models under TRNSYS environment.
- Development of a tool for sizing microgrids, taking into account both energy and social parameters.
Expected Results
- Tool that helps in decision-making on the sizing of microgrids in unique environments.
- Good practice guide.
R&D Line
- Research in tools for the management of energy communities.

Networking
Energy Systems projects:
LIFE BIOSEVILLE
Life BIOSEVILLE develops an integrated system for the value of frying oils generated in the city of Seville. This system ranges from oil collection logistics to obtaining a more efficient, competitive and ecological biofuel.
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
