BERLIN Short Training in Cyprus: Technology demonstration of a Living Lab Nanogrid

The University of Cyprus, coordinator of BERLIN project, is organising a short training at its new Living Lab Nanogrid.

The purpose of the training is to provide a technology demonstration on the operation and impact of a Living Lab Nanogrid. The Living Lab Nanogrid developed at the PV Technology Laboratory of the University of Cyprus will be used as a case study of the nanogrid concept. The training will also include a demonstration session of developed tools for more effective management of nanogrids and will also address further integration potentials.

The short training will take place on Wednesday, 26 July 2023 at 10:00 am at the premises of PV Technology Laboratory, University of Cyprus.

AGENDA

10:00-10:10 Nanogrid: Resilience and Increased Penetration of Photovoltaics. An introduction into the nanogrid concept and related technologies. Dr Alexandros Arsalis, University of Cyprus

10:10-10:25 Tools for the Effective Management of Nanogrids An overview of two recently developed tools: (i) a tool for building integrated energy systems design, and (ii) a policy makers’ tool for policy recommendations. Dr Angelos Nousdilis, University of Western Macedonia

10:25-10:40 Further Integration Potential Addresses the integration of “Green Hydrogen” and “Heating and Cooling” Technologies with a Nanogrid, and the potential of developing energy communities using the nanogrid concept. Fanourios Kourougianni, Dr Andreas Olympios, Georgios Yiasoumas, University of Cyprus

10:40-11:30 Hands-on Training on a Real-life Nanogrid Participants will have the opportunity to be trained on the recently developed FOSS Living Lab Nanogrid, the first such system in Cyprus and the concept of which may only be found in a few places around the world. Dr Georgios Makrides, Dr Andreas Liveras, Dr Andreas Olympios, Dr Spyros Theocharides, University of Cyprus
