Research and Training Network for Smart and Green Energy Systems and Business Models

The general objective of SMARTGYsum is to drive the evolution of European Electric Energy Systems by integrating the knowledge on PEL, ELE and ICT as well as their socioeconomical aspects with the creation of new businesses models to cover the green economy energy requirements (sustainability, efficiency, reliability and manageability). Specifically, SMARTGYsum establishes scientific and training objectives corresponding with all the stages of Electric Energy Systems to develop the knowledge and capacities required for: 1) The generation and storage of electric energy using Renewable Electric Energy Generation (REEG) sources and distributed energy resources (DER), and their integration in ESS. 2) The distribution of electric energy from generator to consumers, ensuring the optimal efficiency of the system through collaborative models and radial networks. 3) The analysis of the socioeconomic elements, among them the consumption patterns and behaviours, consumer engagement and other aspects that allow to understand and promote new business models to tackle with the customer prosumption concept, as well as the market uptake of energy and ICT innovation. 4) Coordination of all sectors of Electric Energy Systems fusing smart grids, combining IoT, sensor networks, Big Data, AI and together with societal/social and behavioural aspects. 5) To perform knowledge networks and platforms to promote the required changes in the academia, industry, policy and society.

Project objective

“Collaborative Smart Grids” (CSGs) are a promising concept built on digital technologies and economic and organizational structures, directly linked to the empowerment of consumers, the promotion of behavioural change and increased collaboration among all stakeholders. CSGs require a new vision but also innovative business models and technology developments around energy production, distribution and consumption to be successful and sustainable. The multidisciplinary and multilayer concept embedded in CSGs is essential to contribute to greener and smarter energy systems in our societies. SMARTGYsum - SMART Green energY Systems and bUsiness Models- will train 15 ESR for 36 months to enable the implementation of the Smart Energy vision, focusing on different technical and socioeconomic aspects that conform Electric Energy Systems (EESs) and CSGs, providing an excellent basis to develop their future careers in Power Electronics, Electric Engineering, Material Sciences, ICT, Data Sciences but also energy capturing of value, value chains, finance & investments, management of energy markets, economical and policy instruments, etc. As a result, there will be a network of academic and industrial partners closely collaborating following a transferable, inter and multidisciplinary approach, aimed at raising the employability and career opportunities of ESRs within the public and the private sectors, as well as their potential for conducting innovation, entrepreneurship and for impacting in the European society at medium and long-term.
