HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project Acronym: FLEXIGRID). The main goal of FLEXIGRID is to allow the distribution grid to operate in a secure and stable manner when a large share of variable generation electricity sources is connected to low and medium voltage grids. To do so, FLEXIGRID proposes a three-level approach aiming at Flexibility, Reliability, and Economic Efficiency through the development of innovative hardware and software solutions.

HYPERTECH (project coordinator of MERLON H2020 project) actively participated at the workshop on Local Energy Communities, organised on 15 May 2019 in Brussels by the H2020 projects COMPILE, MERLON, MUSE GRIDS, STORY with the support of the BRIDGE initiative.

HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project Acronym: IELECTRIX ) focusing on the development and demonstration of of solutions and tools for the optimisation of local energy networks to support a smooth development of Local Energy Communities (LECs) and which have a high replication potential in Europe and in India since allowing additional renewables to generate and distribute electricity at lower costs than a traditional grid reinforcement.

HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project Acronym: BIMERR). BIMERR will design and develop an ICT-enabled Renovation 4.0 toolkit comprising tools for AEC stakeholder support throughout the energy efficiency renovation process of existing buildings. It will enforce semantic interoperability among its own tools as well as with third-party ICT tools to enable seamless BIM creation and information exchange among the AEC community in an effort to boost the rapid adoption of BIM in renovating of the existing EU building stock.

HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project Acronym: MERLON). MERLON introduces an integrated modular local energy management framework for the holistic operational optimisation of local energy systems in presence of high shares of volatile distributed renewable energy sources. Optimisation in MERLON applies to multiple levels spanning optimal coordination of local generation as well as flexibility provision to facilitate maximum integration of renewable energy, avoidance of curtailment and satisfaction of balancing/ancillary grid needs.

HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project Acronym: DRIMPAC). The main outcome of DRIMPAC is to develop a comprehensive solution to empower consumers to become active participants in the energy market. DRIMPAC aims to bridge the gap of communication between grid/market and buildings by providing a unique and universal technological framework that facilitates the end-to-end communication of the necessary information for the discovery and delivery of demand flexibility.

HYPERTECH has been awarded with a service contract to carry out a study on the replacement of the Publications Office current cataloguing tool. The Publications Office is looking to replace its current cataloguing tool with either a new off-the-shelf solution or a custom-built application. The replacement of the cataloguing tool is also an opportunity to review and optimise workflows and working processes.

HYPERTECH has been recently awarded, along with KPMG Cyprus, with a service contract to deliver Technical Consultancy Services to the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture (MoEC). The contract consists in designing and specifying a modern integrated information system which will cover MoEC’s needs. It will assist public schools and institutions across the Republic of Cyprus at their educational goals, while providing MoEC with a powerful cyber-governance tool for better monitoring of personnel, students, resources, processes etc.

HYPERTECH, as part of a pan-European consortium, has been recently awarded with a service contract to deliver the ESPON European and Macro-regional Territorial Monitoring Tool (EMTM Tool). The aim of this contract is to develop a practical and operational tool to continuously observe the development trends and patterns taking place in Europe, its macro-regions (Adriatic-Ionian, Alpine, Baltic Sea, Danube), regions and cities. The tool will support European, macro-regional, national and regional policy makers and other stakeholders with territorial information, data, analytical features and short reports.
