by Uncategorized

Brussels, May 22, 2023 – i-STENTORE will organise a public debate on energy trends, in a hybrid model that will allow online and live participation. The conference will focus the journey of i-STENTORE towards sustainability and will take place on June 22, 1.30pm – 2.30pm CET in Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Puerta de Toledo Campus, Grade Room.

The initiative “Powering the Future: Exploring the Role of Innovative Hybrid Energy Storage Systems in Green Energy Empowerment” aims to take over a valuable exchange of ideas on behalf of the transformative potential of hybrid energy storage systems in driving the transition towards sustainable energy solutions. 

i-STENTORE Project Coordinator, Nikolaos Bilidis, emphasises that “a key highlight of the workshop will be a lively discussion on the vast potential of energy storage, bringing together a panel of experts from various backgrounds“.

The event will provide a technical framework for understanding innovative hybrid energy storage systems, and share valuable insights derived from i-STENTORE pilots involving a diverse range of green energy storage technologies. 

The “Powering the Future” workshop will contribute to knowledge exchange, collaboration, and exploration of innovative hybrid energy storage systems, fostering  collaborations to drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.

The participation in the event is free of charge and open to everyone interested in the energy sector.

Small steps make huge difference in our journey towards sustainability.

i-STENTORE: New Horizon Europe project aims to lead to more innovative storage systems

by Uncategorized

Athens, February 23rd 2023 – A new Horizon Europe project – i-STENTORE, innovative Energy Storage TEchnologies TOwards increased Renewables integration and Efficient Operation – has started and will examine the integration of diverse Energy Storage (ES) solutions and their combinations.

This project is part of Horizon Europe Innovation Actions, co-funded by the European Union, and will study the applicability of versatile storage solutions in various applications covering the mobility, agricultural, industry, household, heating and other sectors. The decentralisation of the power sector is one of the program keys, as i-STENTORE aims to generate a technological soft solution through creating a level playing field for intelligent energy storage based applications involving multiple energy stakeholders and systems.

“The contribution of i-STENTORE project for the future energy market configuration is central and will help green energy to firm its expression globally, by generating a greater efficiency, through the introduction of novel stand-alone and hybrid energy storage systems”, highlights Nikolaos Bilidis, i-STENTORE Project Coordinator. 

Innovative storage systems will be showcased and their co-operation with the integrated assets will be co-optimized. The project focuses on reliability, the power quality, the cost-efficient operation and the maximisation of the assets’ lifetime as end-goals. i-STENTORE will also examine the integration of diverse ES solutions and their hybridization through digital solutions. Engagement of innovative ES technologies using new advanced materials and new design solutions is another key focus of i-STENTORE.

The official kick-off meeting took place in Athens, Greece, on January 30th and 31st, where 27 partners met to discuss the Project objectives and methodologies to be implemented during the next 36 months. The project started in January 2023 and will be active until 2026, with a global budget of almost 10M euros.
