Empowering Renewable Energy Innovation
About
This node provides a cutting-edge testing facility that can support Aggregators, System Operators, RES Operators and Tech developers as they prepare their services for real-world deployment and market entry. The node focuses on photovoltaic (PV) systems, hydropower plants and wind farms, enabling collaboration, innovation and evolution of the renewable energy sector.
Testing Infrastructure
It spans across two countries, Greece and Portugal, and is managed by four key partners including CEO and PPC for the testing sites and InesTec and RebaseEnergy for the digital assets. CorPower, based in Sweden, will serve as the end-user and will test a patented buoy for wave energy on-site.
Physical
CEO is responsible for the grid-connected infrastructure and the physical test area in Portugal, while PPC leads the renewable energy systems in Greece.
