R&D NESTER AND REN AT THE HEDGE-IOT 2ND PLENARY MEETING: ADVANCING GRID INTELLIGENCE THROUGH AI AND IOT
On March 12 and 13, 2025, the HEDGE-IoT project consortium gathered in Athens, Greece, for its second Plenary Meeting, hosted by the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
The event brought together project partners to
review the progress achieved, tackle current challenges, and coordinate the
next steps toward building smarter and more resilient energy systems.
The main objective of project Hedge-IoT
(Holistic Approach towards Empowerment of the Digitalization of the Energy
Ecosystem through adoption of IoT solutions) is to deploy IoT assets
throughout the energy ecosystem, integrating AI and machine learning tools to
enhance grid intelligence, flexibility, and resilience. The project also
targets the expansion of renewables integration, the creation of interoperable
energy services, and the standardization of IoT technologies across the sector.
R&D Nester and REN are actively contributing to the Portuguese Pilot - Living Lab for Interoperable AI-based Energy Services, focusing on facilitating and optimizing the deployment of grid flexibility services within residential and commercial energy communities.
During the meeting, R&D Nester presented
the current status of the cloud-based Market Simulator, a tool designed to
support the techno-economic analysis of energy communities' future
participation in the ancillary services markets.
