RURALGRID: Feasibility study of renewable energy implementation through microgrids in the villages of the Pyrenees. CTP11/02

Period:
from 2012 to 2013
Financing entity:
Basque Government (Projects for Research and Technological Development of the Working Community of the Pyrenees)
Description:

The project aims to define, design, develop and implement intelligent energy control systems that allow the real-time management of a microgrid applied to a rural area. The idea is to get a percentage maximized of renewable energy penetration, able to be self-managed, with the constraints of the natural ecosystem and landscape perspective. The goal is to generate clean energy, find role models in demand and develop non-invasive technologies and adapted to the natural environment, with the connivance of the beneficiary population.

Special importance is given to the study of technical and economic feasibility for establishing microgrids to serve to the villages of the Pyrenees. This project involves Foundation San Jorge University (coordinator), INYCOM, Polytechnic University of Catalonia (TIEH and NHG groups), Ecole Supérieure des Technologies Industrielles Avancées (France), IMS Bordeaux (France), LOREKI (France), Ecole Nationale d 'ingénieurs of Tarbes (France), Jema ENERGY S. A., Tecnalia R & I, and the UPV/EHU (Groups GSC, SI+E and APERT).
