From Concept to Implementation
A structured path to smarter energy systems.
The work plan is divided into ten inter-related Work Packages (WPs) which will enable a coherent implementation of our different objectives and methodologies. Each WP is further subdivided in tasks. Every task has a clear aim and a well-defined action plan. Specific milestones and deliverables will allow project benchmarking monitoring. All WPs are closely interconnected and use the results of preceding WPs as input for the work progress.
Work Package 1 – Project Management
The overarching goal of WP1 is to facilitate the seamless operation of the project, coordinating all activities and tasks to optimize processes and achieve project objectives efficiently. This work package encompasses project management, consortium communication, progress reporting, and integration of gender equality and diversity perspectives. WP1 is dedicated to ensuring the timely delivery of all project deliverables and producing required reports.
Work Package 2 – Dissemination, communication and exploitation
This WP involves all the activities to accomplish the highest level of dissemination and exploitation of project outputs and outcomes. The ultimate objective is to raise awareness and effectively communicate our project results.
Work Package 3 – Techno-Economic Analysis
The overall objective of WP3 is to identify viable business cases for potential DSM users within the different island systems. This will include the analysis of the individual situation on the selected islands and a cost-benefit analysis (CBA).
Work Package 4 – Communication and Control Design Specifications
The overall objective of WP4 is to specify the communication and control design to base the algorithms on which will be developed in WP5. The specification will depend on the findings in WP3.
Work Package 5 – Development of next-generation control strategies
The overall objective of WP5 is to develop the control strategies that can be integrated into existing energy management systems of the respective flexibility providers aligned with the specifications developed in WP4.
Work Package 6 – Simulation and laboratory tests
The overall objective of WP6 is to test our solutions using power system simulations and in the laboratory using hardware-in-the-loop tests.
Work Package 7 – Field implementation tests and evaluation
The overall objective of WP7 is to implement/install, test and evaluate our DSM system on islands in cooperation with local stakeholders.
Work Package 8 – Assessment of replicability and scaling up potential
The overall objective of WP8 is to assess the potential of the developed solutions to be applicable to other islands and the potential to be scaled up to be utilised in interconnected/continental systems.
Work Package 9 – Development of web app and validation
The overall objective of WP9 is to develop a web app to ensure accessibility and user friendliness.
Work Package 10 – Reporting and Knowledge Community Activities
The primary goal of WP10 is to disseminate our knowledge acquired throughout the project to the CETP Knowledge Community. This work package encompasses specific tasks related to dissemination and communication activities, ensuring that the acquired knowledge reaches the CETP Knowledge Community effectively.
