PROJECT NAME

Alliance for the Energy Transition (ATE)

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Alliance for the Energy Transition aims to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of companies in the energy sector as a result of the creation of innovative and export-oriented products and solutions, based on technology and know-how developed and consolidated in the sector, placing Portugal at the forefront of decarbonization and fostering an effective energy transition.

 

OBJECTIVES

ATE will make a significant and sustained contribution to national strategic objectives, such as increasing exports (443M€), increasing investment in R&D (209.5M€), reducing emissions (3.4 MtonCO2), as well as changing the economy's specialization profile (550M€ sales in 2027). ATE involves a total of 52 companies, 28 entities from the Research & Innovation System, which will create a truly structuring ecosystem for the Energy Transition, which in addition to the expected PPS, will also involve the creation of 420 qualified jobs.

ARMIS' participation aims to develop a set of Virtual Test Set and diagnostic module tools that will allow automation engineers to test and validate specific IED configurations without the need to have the IED live.  It also aims to design a proof-of-concept Digital TWIN IED for IED Virtualization.

GOALS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Be.Neutral seeks to position Portugal as an exporter of cyber-physical zero-carbon mobility products to cities around the world. Its design arose from an opportunity to develop, industrialise, and operate new mobility products and services (physical devices, connectivity and data science platforms) that are able to quantify the emissions avoided in real time so as to accelerate carbon neutrality by 2030.

The participation of ARMIS focuses seeks to develop an integrated first/last-mile mobility hub system. The proposed system consists of a network of modular and flexible infrastructures that aggregate demand for sustainable mobility services in cities. These infrastructures promote the adoption of eco-friendly and shared mobility modes, complementing public transportation. Additionally, the system is highly digital and provides easy access to real-time information about mobility services through interactive solutions.

The mobility hub is multifunctional, modular, scalable, sustainable, and offers a variety of services, including public transportation information and user experience enhancements.

GOALS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Route 25 aims to "position Portugal at the forefront of intelligent and inclusive transportation technologies." This project leverages research and development of disruptive technological solutions for Autonomous, Intelligent, Interoperable, and Inclusive Mobility, creating a new value chain in Portugal in high-tech activities and territorial cohesion, generating €80 million in sales and 488 jobs.

Route 25 is based on areas of intervention that will result in the introduction of 47 innovative and disruptive PPS into the market. ARMIS' participation focuses on 3 PPS with the goal of 1) promoting and redesigning traffic management and energy efficiency architectures, 2) improving the quality of navigation services and flexibility of traffic management measures, and 3) enhancing support for automated vehicles to provide guidance on the road network's readiness for the next era of road automation.

 

 

PROJECT NAME

GRID’S PREDICTIVE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERING DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES

 

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

The GPDER+ project aims to research and develop a SCADA/DMS system dedicated to Predictive Management of the Distribution Network (high and medium voltage) and a Demand Response Management System (DRMS) platform that enables new business models for managing Distributed Energy Resources (DER) operated by various entities (e.g., aggregators, retailers, consumer cooperatives). The developed platforms will be designed to address the technical and functional requirements necessary for integrating flexibility into the electricity market and system operation, enhancing the Distribution Network Operator's monitoring and predictive control capabilities, and integrating new business models based on selling flexibility to the Distribution Network Operator.
