BERLIN aims to implement cross-border pilot measures to support
innovative & cost-effective energy rehabilitations in public
buildings based on the nanogrid concept, the building block for
smart microgrids. The motivation is multi-fold: a) to address high
energy consumption in building sector that is primarily fossil-fuel
based, b) to support areas of weak grids, common in MENA region
& rural areas, as high energy consumption in buildings can
compromise electric service reliability, c) to achieve higher grid
penetration of RES whilst ensuring grid stability and power
quality. To this end BERLIN will focus on increasing PV grid
penetration, combined with storage (ESS) and demand side management
(DSM), along with enhancement of energy efficiency in buildings.
Utilizing these 3 technologies in a cost-effective way, the goal is
to reach high levels of self-resilience in public buildings, and to
make them green(er), smart, innovative & sustainable.
