HERI – Research Actions Database

Welcome to the HERI Research Actions Database. The database provides details of past and present research actions related to all aspects of hydropower. The database has been structured following the categorisation developed for the HYDROPOWER EUROPE research and innovation agenda, and Strategic Industry Roadmap.

The database contents have been collated from a variety of organisations working on research actions across all sectors of the hydropower industry. The information has been share freely and is available as open access. You can search the database or add details of new initiatives to the database via the buttons below.

Advanced Grid Interfaces for innovative STorage INtegration

Description

Energy storage is in high demand. The decarbonisation of industry through electrification, the growth of renewables as well as the need to ensure grid stability are major incentives to develop storage technologies. With this in mind, the EU-funded AGISTIN project will design advanced grid interface for energy storage solutions that minimise the impact of new, large demands on the grid and reduce costs for large grid users through innovative storage integration. The project will carry out two demonstrations and three test activities on renewable hydrogen electrolysis, irrigation pumping and fast electric vehicle charging. The innovative storage technologies include aqueous electrochemical recuperators, irrigation systems and aluminium ion batteries.
