Twinning activities
Twinning activities are a key component of the project, with 3 dedicated work packages.
Various events are being organized in order to facilitate this reciprocate exchange:
Workshops on best practices in Horizon Europe projects
These workshops will involve all TwInSolar partners and relevant R&D players from La Reunion, to share best practices to build a competitive and internationalised R&I system in the energy transition field.
Scientific workshops and summer school on smart management of energy systems
Led by Fraunhofer ISE, these activities aim to learn from their experience and the other partners’, to improve research (mainly focused on solar forecast integration in the management of energy systems and on PV power generation) and awareness of technicial teams, administrative staff and future project managers.
Scientific workshops and summer school on design, modeling and sizing of energy systems
Led by DTU, these activities deal with the design, the sizing and the modelling of energy systems highly penetrated by solar renewables. The modelling will focus on all the parts of the conversion chain and on the tolls (static or dynamic) that are available simulate such systems. The sizing will be based on methods able of taking into account the uncertainty associated to solar production.
3 site visits
Three site visits are being organised in the framework of the project:
- At Fraunhofer ISE’s facilities in Freiburg, Germany, in September 2022
- At DTU’s campus in Denmark, in September 2022
- At the University of La Reunion, in February 2023
In addition, 8 short-term exchanges of UR’s staff within the two top-class research partners will be organized, involving researchers, engineers, project managers and administrative staff.
