CRETE VALLEY

CRETE VALLEY will create, develop and demonstrate a Renewable Energy Valley & Living Lab (REV-Lab) in Crete. It will serve as a decentralised renewable energy system that combines leading-edge ICT technologies, interoperable and open digital solutions, social innovation processes, and solid business models that are easy to adopt. CRETE VALLEY will demonstrate a digitalised, distributed, renewable, low carbon landscape that is affordable for all and fully covers the local energy needs on an annual basis, utilizing multiple renewable energy carriers and leveraging energy storage technologies. The REV-Lab will integrate four Community Energy Labs (CELs) located in distinct sites across CRETE VALLEY, conceived as Innovation Hubs.

To achieve the project goals an integrated social, technological business approach on RES production will be deployed, focusing on multiple technological frameworks based on social science, involving citizens in the co-design, implementation and exploitation of RES. For the optimal operation resilience of the local energy grid, data-driven operational analysis, advanced AI/ML tools, flexibility modelling services and digital twin technologies will be developed and deployed, as well as consumer-centred applications will be created to empower the adoption of the REV-Lab solutions.
