'Community-based Virtual Power Plant' NPA funded project to exploit information techn to link multiple small energy systems & operate them in coordination.
🇮🇸 At the Faroe Islands meeting, @Haskoli_Islands's Rúnar Unnþórsson shared their #COPOWER pilot: a solar-powered system for a shared household, featuring panels, batteries & inverters. After months of testing, they’ve redesigned it based on real-world use.

🌍 Day 2 of #COPOWERproject meeting begins with a thematic seminar on innovative DER pilot plans:
🔋Fabian Sander, @centriaamk, 🇫🇮: A biogas plant + battery storage system integrated into a #VirtualPowerPlant to balance #energy demand and supply using #smart software.
More from #COPOWERproject seminar:
🏘️Paul Early, @donegalcouncil, 🇮🇪: A microgrid system for an estate of former Army barracks, integrating DERs to balance with the main grid.
🔮Bjarti Thomsen, Nólsoy, 🇫🇴: AI-based control of #renewableenergy for efficient heating.🌍
👉#COPOWER partners also visited Jahotec Ltd, a farm-scale biogas plant, & Volter Ltd to explore the “Walter” CHP unit which produces electricity by gasifying #biomass & uses waste heat for agriculture, industrial processes, underfloor heating, or even preheating water! @UniOulu
😁At the #COPOWERproject meeting hosted by @UniOulu, partners are focusing on Distributed Energy Resources (DER) pilot updates and integration strategies.
⚡️Insightful presentations, collaboration, and feedback are driving us forward! 💡🌱
