Role in InteGRIDy:
SUNLIGHT will provide its industrial Renewable Energy park at Xanthi, Greece (UC-8: Optimum Distributed Control of RES-enabled Islanded Grids Local Storage) where an islanded RES-powered autonomous grid operates with battery and hydrogen storage in order to improve the energy and resources efficiency within the factory. The existing control and automation infrastructure will be extended to allow DR mechanisms to be locally applied and to improve the distribution of the energy among the nodes of the grid using smart and enhanced Energy Management Strategies and Model Predictive Control methods.
Also part of its fleet of MHE EVs will be integrated to the islanded grid to provide a case where dynamically changing charging requirements are necessary, at the factory operated 24/7 having 3 shifts where MHE EVs are used.
SUNLIGHT will contribute with its integrated energy storage systems to the use case of «UC -4: Smart Grid Integration, selfconsumption strategies & enlarged RES penetration factor (Barcelona, ES)» and «UC-10: Flexible DR at Residential and Tertiary Building with Local Storage (Thessaloniki, GR)».
