FRAMEWORK

The Alliance for Energy Transition agenda aims to reinforce the competitiveness and resilience of companies in the energy sector as a result of the creation of innovative products and solutions of an export nature, based on technology and know-how developed and consolidated in the sector, placing Portugal in the leadership in decarbonization and promoting an effective energy transition.

 

 

 

This strategic objective will be achieved through a series of targets, including an increase in exports of goods and services, greater investment in R&D, reduction of CO2 emissions, as well as a change in the specialization profile of the Portuguese economy, through investment allocation in value-added activities that will generate a total of 46 PPS, oriented towards markets and the creation of qualified jobs.

 

 

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

It is expected to obtain 46 highly innovative solutions (such as Combinable Modules for Portable Electrical Solutions, New generation of Shell energy transformers and Innovative distribution transformers for renewable energy generation), to leverage the integration of renewable energies, and multiple carriers of clean energy and energy efficiency.

 

 

CCG/ZGDV CONTRIBUTION

CCG/ZGDV is involved in the development of the following Work Packages:

 

 

 
  • WP4 - BrightPost - Mobility Decarbonization

Development of an intelligent, efficient street lighting pole capable of supporting electric mobility and collecting critical data (temperature, mobility, consumption). CCG/ZGDV is developing an information collection system based on cameras installed on poles and optimizing 5G cells, improving the city's connectivity. 

  • WP8 - ZEB - Energy Efficiency in End Users

Development of a transversal energy management platform that allows the entire building to be managed and optimized through a single interface. The CCG/ZGDV is responsible for defining and developing the platform's architecture and the interoperability of the various services provided. It is also responsible for designing and developing a module based on information extracted from spectral cameras to assess the building's air quality.

  • WP12 - POEM - Interoperable Platform for Energy Sector Digitalization

A municipal platform for energy management and promotion of carbon neutrality, transversal monitoring of energy resources and consumption on a city scale: production and storage of renewable energy, energy management of public buildings, public lighting, electric vehicle chargers, urban mobility, weather forecasts, and other sources of information. The CCG/ZGDV is responsible for defining and developing the platform's architecture, ensuring its interoperability and scalability with different devices and services.
