DSM4islands

The main objective of this project is to develop solutions that demonstrate the value of Demand-Side Management (DSM) in maximizing the share and improving the reliable operation of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) in power systems across different geographical areas and climatic conditions.

The specific focus is on island power systems, where the integration of VRE significantly affects grid stability. These smaller, self-contained grids not only exhibit a high need for flexibility solutions, but also serve as ideal testing grounds for innovative flexibility schemes such as DSM, providing valuable insights that can also be applied to larger power systems.

The project is implemented by Energynautics GmbH (coordinator, Germany), EPL Technology Frontiers Ltd (Cyprus), Exalto Energy & Innovation S.r.l. (Italy), the University of Cyprus (Cyprus), and the University of Palermo (Italy). It is co-funded under the CETPartnership Joint Call 2023 by the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 101069750), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (03EI4094), the Republic of Cyprus and the European Regional Development Fund through the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation (EP/CETP/0923/0004), and the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, P/120006/01-02/X72).
