Horizon 2020 Project:

TILOS_ Technology Innovation for the Local Scale, Optimum Integration of Battery Energy Storage (TILOS)

CALL FOR COMPETITIVE LOW-CARBON ENERGY, H2020-LCE-2014-3 Sub call of: H2020-LCE-2014-2015, Topic: Local / small-scale storage LCE-08-2014

Project Coordinator:

Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (Technological Education Institute of Piraeus) - Soft Energy Applications and Environmental Protection Laboratory- Mechanical Engineers Department

About TILOS:

TILOS is a multinational European demonstration and research project with 15 participating enterprises and institutes from 7 European countries (DE, FR, EL, UK, SE, IT, ES). TILOS project aims to demonstrate the potential of local scale energy storage to serve a multi-purpose role within an island micro grid that is in communication with a main electricity grid. The project aims to demonstrate the large-scale RES penetration through an optimum integration of hybrid-RES (Renewable Energy System) (wind and PV) power station, advanced battery storage, distributed, domestic heat storage, and DSM equipment. The project aim will be accomplished by developing and operating an integrated, smart micro grid on the island of Tilos (located at the south-eastern part of the Aegean Sea and being interconnected to a bigger, island-complex electricity system).

Project start: 1/2/2015

FP7 Project:

CRISP_CReating Innovative Sustainability Pathways

THEME [ENV.2010.4.2.3-1] [Foresight to enhance behavioural and societal changes enabling the transition towards sustainable paths in Europe]

Date : 2011-2014

 

 

Program ARCHIMEDES II- ENVIRONMENT

Scientific Coordinator : Dr Emilia Kondili

‘Water Systems Optimisation in Islands with Limited Water Resources’

Date : 2005-2008, Budget: 80.000 €

 

Scope and Objectives of the Project  

  • To study different technical and economic parameters of water supply methods and (water) uses
  • To define the evaluation criteria and the constraints in water systems’ operation
  • To develop and implement an appropriate model for the optimal design and operation of the water systems
  • To integrate the optimization results and suggest optimal solutions for the design and operation of water systems

 

Project Activities

The project is structured in a number of workpackages, each one with clear objectives and expected results. Amongst the project activities are the following:

  • Review of the current status in the water supply and demand in Aegean islands
  • Comparative evaluation of different water supply methods (eg. desalination, dams etc)
  • Development of an optimization model for the water system that takes into account different supply methods and water demand patterns Investigation of the potential for the combined production of clean water and energy
  • Implementation of the optimisation model in various representative islands
  • Synthesis of project results and recommendations for the optimal operation of water systems
  • Project management and quality assurance
  • Results dissemination

 

Project results - Deliverables of the Project

  • Parametric computational method of water cost from infrastructure facilities
  • Publications- Announcements - Monography

 

 

TEMPUS VISION

Scientific Coordinator of the Project “A New Vision for Engineering Economy” (MEDA PROGRAMME, 2004, with partners from Egypt, Italy, UK), 2004-05.

The aim of the project is primarily to transfer experience and know-how from European Countries and in addition to design, develop and operate educational programs of Techno-economical Analysis in FECU University of Cairo (Egypt). In the project also participated the University of Cairo (Egypt), the Technical University of Naples (Italy) and the University of York (UK).

 

Member of the Research Team PREMIA:

PREMIA: (Biofuels) R&D, demonstration and incentive programmes effectiveness to facilitate and secure market introduction of alternative motor fuels, in collaboration with the Hellenic Institute for Transportation of the National Center for R&D for DG TREN.

The aim of the project is to asses the effectiveness of various measures to support further penetration of biofuels in European Countries’ energy balances.

 

Member of the Research Team MESYR (TEMPUS):

The aim of the project is to develop an educational program for the course of Mechatronics in University of Aleppo, which will be adjusted properly in Syrian economy's needs and will stimulate the creation of sustainable educational and research infrastructures in the field of Mechatronics in Syria. The aims also demonstrate the project’s major results.
