On the 15th and 16th of February, the launch meeting for the Smart PVwine project - Advanced PV system and intelligent management for the improvement of wine production - took place in Ciudad Real. The consortium consists of Leitat, ISFOC, Sensing & Control, and the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). The first steps to follow were agreed upon during the meeting, and working teams for each p...

Water scarcity affects more and more sectors, and according to the latest reports by IRENA and Bluerisk (2023), “Water for hydrogen production”, and IRENA and the World Trade Organization (2023), “International trade and green hydrogen: Supporting the global transition to a low-carbon economy” [1-2], this water shortage can even jeopardize the very promising hydrogen production projects. At ISFOC, we...

The innovative H2HORA project aims primarily at optimizing water consumption in renewable hydrogen production. To achieve this, a detailed research study will be conducted to increase knowledge about the specific water needs as a raw material for electrolysis plants and to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a novel system (intelligent, digitalized, low-cost, and open) that, as a main point and...

Continuing from the COMETA project, LEADING is an innovative project aimed at developing an intelligent and advanced management system for energy communities, hosted in the cloud. Additionally, a pilot-scale installation will be implemented to simulate the behaviour of an Energy Community integrating new sources of energy generation and storage. LEADING is funded by the Ministry of Industry, Trade a...

This phase primarily aims to implement a pilot with a predictive maintenance platform in the metaverse for photovoltaic plants with IoT and Artificial Intelligence to optimize maintenance. The challenge of the second phase of the project is to carry out a pilot project that, based on the research tasks conducted during the first and second phases, facilitates the creation of a predictive maintenance...
