OMRES is a project at the forefront of Europe’s green energy transition, targeting the seamless integration of zero-emission power technologies into the existing power system.
The project’s core objective is the development of digitalized operating and maintenance solutions for hybrid renewable energy sources (RES) systems, including storage, with a focus on enhancing technology performance and contributing to zero-emission power production. This project is poised to make significant contributions to overcoming challenges associated with the integration, reliability, efficiency, and profitability of RES, facilitating a sustainable and efficient transition to green energy in Europe.
Scientifically, OMRES aims to achieve several key objectives: (a) advancing RES power forecasting models through atmospheric modeling for improved energy yield prediction accuracy, (b) designing fault diagnosis and lifetime extension tools for power electronics inverters to enhance the overall reliability of RES, (c) developing bidding and control strategies to optimize the operation of hybrid RES sites, maximizing profitability and offering ancillary services in both Grid Forming and Grid Following modes, and (d) implementing a real-time digital twin framework with enhanced data analytics for the validation of OMRES solutions in operational environments.
The OMRES project transnational consortium consists of four partners: The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus (Cyprus), Aalborg University (Denmark), Aix-Marseille Université (France), and T.P AEOLIAN DYNAMICS LTD (Cyprus), each bringing unique expertise, knowledge, and infrastructures to the project. It is coordinated by the KIOS Center of Excellence.
