Featured Projects 

EVFlex - Electric vehicle flexibility aggregation for grid services

EVFlex develops the data management approach and algorithmic basis for large-scale aggregation of EVs for V2G by charge point and fleet operators to offer ancillary services to TSOs and DSOs through flexibility aggregators.

eNet - an adaptable platform for advanced local energy markets

We develop intelligence for a modular, scalable local energy market. The result is an adaptable platform for utilities, communities and customers that promotes decarbonisation, PV investment, local sourcing and flexibility.

KnowlEDGE

The KnowlEDGE project will establish alternative approaches to data aggregation.

Peer-2-Peer Energy

Power systems integration of innovative energy markets

Smart Helio Mesh

HSLU is working with Lausanne-based start-up SmartHelio to develop next-generation plug and play IOT sensors for PV arrays. The sensor collects panel level performance data and uses artificial intelligence on embedded micropocessors for predictive analysis.

Artificial Intelligence for Power Systems

HSLU and industrial partners work together on use cases for artificial intelligence and machine learning in the power sector
