Cross-regional network and market model for optimisation of long duration storage
Funds two projects, worth up to EUR 7 million each, building models and tools that plan where long-duration energy storage should sit across cross-regional power grids.
A consortium submits a single-stage Innovation Action proposal, and the Commission expects to fund two projects from this topic at up to EUR 7 million in EU contribution each, paid as a lump sum tied to completing agreed work packages. The project has to be grounded in a complete understanding of existing operational systems across at least two adjacent NUTS 2 or 3 regions, best represented as a d…
The Commission wants tools that help grid planners decide where to site and how to size Long-Duration Energy Storage (over 12 hours) across cross-regional networks dominated by wind and solar power. Proposals should build a digital-twin-style model of at least two adjacent regions, quantify the system-wide value of storage integration, and flag the technical and regulatory barriers holding deployment back.
