Sister Projects
V2Market cooperates with many Horizon 2020 projects.
TwinERGY
A digital twin (DT) is a digital replica of a physical asset, process, or system. The digital twin can be used to test new ideas or model scenarios in real time without interrupting physical asset operations and user processes. The EU-funded TwinERGY project will introduce a new digital twin framework for the energy market. It will incorporate the required intelligence for optimising demand response at the local level without compromising the well-being of consumers and their daily schedules and operations. The project will ensure that a wide range of consumers/prosumer interests will be represented and supported in the energy marketplace. Key use cases will be trialled in four pilot regions, and the project will develop, configure, and integrate an innovative suite of tools, services and applications for consumers.
BD4OPEM
Technology offers a huge range of opportunities for the energy market. By combining the old metering, operation and control devices with smart systems, there’s a huge amount of data available that is unused or underused. This data offers a range of possibilities to improve existing energy services and create new ones. The EU-funded BD4OPEM project will develop an analytic toolbox based on Big Data techniques, providing tools for enabling efficient business processes in the energy sector. By extracting more value from available data, a range of innovative services will be created in the fields of grid monitoring, operation and maintenance, network planning, fraud detection, smart energy management for houses/buildings/industries, blockchain transactions and flexibility aggregation for demand-response in smart grids.
procuRE
In line with the EU’s mission to improve the sustainability of its buildings to address climate change, the EU-funded procuRE project has set out to achieve 100 % renewable energy supply in existing building stock. The project aims to create a comprehensive set of tools to enable the delivery of customised, fully renewable building renovation solutions across Europe and beyond. The proposed packages include services such as design and implementation, day-to-day operation and contracting/financing, ensuring that the building continues to perform as designed over its entire life cycle. The packages’ efficiency will be demonstrated prior to making them available on the international market.
LAUNCH
Sustainable energy assets (SEA) contain tremendous potential as tradable securities. Their acceptance is currently hampered by a lack of standardisation in contract types, risk-assessment protocols and tools towards scaling up. The LAUNCH project will help lay the groundwork for SEA development through systems that train developers in real market conditions, standardising contracts with clients, and putting in place protocols allowing developers to assess risk. Through its large network, LAUNCH will also collaborate with the European Finance Industry and developers to encourage acceptance of SEA and help it grow as an industry, leading to new job opportunities and more energy conservation in the EU.
INTERRFACE
Renewable energy integration with smart grid systems is necessary to satisfy the power demands of Europe. It does not have to be one or the other. Increasing renewable energy in the energy supply mix makes sense for a better, cleaner tomorrow – to help reduce global warming emissions, clean our air, and prepare for climate change. The EU-funded INTERRFACE project will develop an interface between transmission and distribution system operators (TSOs and DSOs) and the customers to allow seamless integration and efficient use of renewable energy in the electricity grid. The project’s new concepts, the proposed common architecture and digital solutions will permit a wider use of distributed renewable energy resources, whereas will remove the barriers to unleash the potential of the existing and future resources to become an active part of the power system, for the benefit of the customers and the grid operators.
Triple-A
The overall aim of the EU-funded Triple-A project is to assist financial institutions increase their deployment of capital in energy efficiency, making investments more transparent. Triple-A scheme will identify which investments are considered as Triple-A, fostering sustainable growth, already from the first stages of investments generation and pre-screening, where no standardization exists. Triple-A will provide risk profiles and mitigation policies, including a Web-based database, enabling national and sectoral comparability, market maturity identification, experiences exchange, reducing thus uncertainty for investors. The project will develop standardised Triple-A tools, efficient benchmarks and guidelines, through which in-country demonstrations of the investments and recommendations are envisaged. The case-study countries are eight Member States, namely Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands and Spain.
EaaS
Barriers such as lack of liquidity, financial capacity or the capacity to find competitive financing prevent SMEs from investing in energy-efficient solutions. The EU-funded EaaS (Efficiency as a Service) project aims to overcome these barriers by developing new business models and a financial structure to help SMEs adopt energy-efficient equipment-as-a-service. The project will mainstream the energy-efficient servitisation financial model to make it easier for SMEs to access smart, high energy-efficient technologies and standardise a financing structure. The project will play a role in the promotion of SME competitiveness and the transition to a circular economy.
F-PI
The EU is building on its 2030 climate and energy goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the deployment of renewable energy. Private investments can help to ensure the smooth transition to a clean, smart and secure energy system. In this context, the EU-funded F-PI project will help to facilitate private investments by reducing transactional costs. To do this, it will implement a coherent work plan and execute a set of concrete actions. The concrete actions are focused on provision of technical assistance to private funds to boost their capital in energy efficiency. The project’s overall aim is to trigger EUR 30 million in investments into sustainable energy through planned actions and proper procedures.
Happening
This project deals with semi-decentralized heat pumps and locally produced renewable energies for multi-family building refurbishment.
Interaction final customer – stakeholders – project ‘s entities will be useful to learn best practises.

NEON
Moving forward the Next Generation Integrated Energy Services! NEON project will exploit building energy efficiency, renewable energy generation and storage, and demand flexibility to increase energy savings, reduce CO2 emissions, and provide cost savings across sectors. The Citizen Energy Communities (CECs) enable faster uptake of the proposed services, and facilitate European communities, both residential and nonresidential, in becoming energy efficient. Services that become reality. Through cocreation process with the engage grid stakeholders, service providers and final consumers it is going to be establish the cross-sectoral arrangements and underlying service concepts.
SmartSPIN
