Watch the INVADE videos here

By Mari Kristine Buckholm, Smart Innovation Norway 1. October 2018

On this page, you will find all videos and video interviews made for the EU Horizon 2020 INVADE project.


Pilot site: Albena, Bulgaria

The INVADE project has showed that today’s solutions can be connected in new ways to solve the challenges of tomorrow. The Bulgarian pilot Albena Resort has combined a PV system, a solar thermal system and battery storage to increase the share of renewable energy in the hotel sector.

 


Pilot site: Granollers, Spain

The INVADE project has designed a flexibility management system using batteries. The Spanish pilot Estabanell Energia has demonstrated that a storage system shared with other users is safe, reliable and emission-free alternative to infrastructure expansion.

 


Pilot site: The Netherlands

The INVADE project has changed the energy business as we know it. The Dutch pilot owners, GreenFlux and ElaadNL, have explored the possibilities of matching energy demand to sustainable energy generation and improved smart charging of electric vehicles.

 


Pilot site: Stavanger, Norway

The INVADE project has reimagined the power grid with intelligent technology. The Norwegian pilot Lyse has demonstrated how big data, machine learning and analytics can be integrated into existing smart home solutions, making them “greener”.

 


Pilot site: Freiburg, Germany

The INVADE project has changed the way energy is used, stored and generated. The German pilot badenova has tested energy storage devices (batteries) to increase the share of renewable energies in the grid.

Grand opening of test site for EV charging: On April 18th, Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, Stientje van Veldhoven, officially opened the new Elaad test lab for research on EV charging in the business park Arnhems Buiten.

 


Joseph’s top INVADE advice: Joseph Negreira, International Project Manager at Smart Innovation Norway, explains which challenges the INVADE project is facing and gives his best advice to ensure a successful result.

 


INVADE workshop in Oslo, March 2018: The INVADE workshop in Oslo on March 6th offered an ample opportunity to influence the outcome of the EU project and catered for future pick-ups of concepts, software, hardware, new services, analyses and more. The goal was to harvest input that could shape the pilots and research activities. The video displays the different particpants sharing their thoughts about the project so far.

 


Sanket Puranik talks about the importance of INVADE stakeholders: The EU Horizon 2020 project INVADE has just moved into its second year and partners are currently trying to reach out to harvest input that can shape the pilots and research activities. How can different players in the electricity domain best capitalize on storage and the flexibility it offers?

 


INVADE impact – How to make money in the new power market: Smart Innovation Norway’s Energy Systems researcher, Håkon Duus, talks about positioning technology for tomorrow’s energy market.

 


Researchers talk about INVADE: We asked Smart Innovation Norway’s Iliana Ilieva and Jayaprakash Rajasekharan about their INVADE contributions, and especially; what makes the project so interesting?
