Background

Smart specialization is an innovative approach promoting efficient and targeted use of public investment in research and innovation to

enable countries and regions to capitalize on their strengths and create new competitive advantages.

Smart Specialization Platforms are managed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and they provide support to

regions to foster interregional cooperation based on matching smart specialization priorities related to these three areas

1. S3P Agri-Food

2. S3P Energy: http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/s3p-energy

3. S3P Industrial Modernization

What is the S3PEnergy about?

The main objectives of the S3PEnergy are:

• support the implementation of S3 Energy strategies of those regions/countries that have chosen energy-related priorities in their

S3

• contribute to the EU energy policy priorities by facilitating partnerships between EU regions that have identified renewable

energy technologies and innovative energy solutions as their smart specialization priorities and by promoting alignment

between local, regional, national and European activities on energy sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply.

• set up "S3 Energy Partnerships" that offer interactive and participatory arenas for interregional cooperation :

Support from EC: 200 k€ Lead Partner: Andalusian Energy Agency

Duration: year 2018 Scientific Lead Partner: Friuli Venezia Giulia Region

(with support of Universities of Trieste and Udine)

“Call for Expression of Interest for Thematic Partnerships to Pilot Interregional Innovation Partnerships”:

The pilot action should build on the work already undertaken under the S3 Platforms on learning, connecting and

demonstration, to encourage a more hands-on and tailored approach to support concrete actions during the

commercialization and scale-up phase.

Smart Campus project

The University Campus buildings have different uses and therefore different energy consumptions. It is not always easy to monitor such consumptions in old buildings because the most innovative measurement systems are not always cost-effective.

improve the energy efficiency of University Campus buildings:• symbiosis with regional territory• development of energy saving innovative solutions • use of renewable energy• smart energy generation, use and distribution systems in existing buildings

provide new energy management and control systems built over the IoT paradigm installed at buildings and energy infrastructure level

use University Campuses as new technology demonstrators for electrical and thermal energy distribution and storage.

RATIONALE of Smart Campus Pilot Project

The project will

involve other university partners • in the process of energy innovation • introducing their complementary innovative solutions• replicate the results at their own campus• demonstrate the effectiveness of the measures and tools implemented.

UNIVERSITY OF UDINE CAMPUS!

UNIUD Campus is distributed in the City and it has many buildings built

over the years with different energetic performances. Buildings were

connected to the electric distribution grid and they were heated up

through standard boilers powered by methane

1. Campus as Univercity: improve the efficiency of the campus in symbiosis with the availability and needs of the territory.

2. Provide to provide innovative low-cost energy management and control systems installed in units and buildings based on IoT-paradigm.

UNIVERSITY OF UDINE

The University of Udine partially realized and will complete a photovoltaic system. After finishing

the system, the plant will be integrated with a power network supplying both Campus and

laboratories. It will also connect the energy storage system, which is already present in the

Campus, and the chargers for electric cars. In the project algorithms will be realized and applied

to examine the photovoltaic potential of buildings’ roofs in urban settings. By using LIDAR data, it

will also specify how to optimize heating/cooling technologies in order to get both design criteria

and reference indicators for monitoring and maximizing the energy and environmental efficiency.

The existing units become components

connected to the Internet, visible and

accessible on "cloud" space; this allows for

advanced unit management in order to

implement innovative features such as:

• timed and/or scheduled local and/or remote

timing and/or timer shutdown (via a specific

"app" to be used on a common smartphone)

or automatically when the user (and his /her

smartphone) enters a space well-defined

near the system

• centralized management of the entire

network for monitoring, diagnostics,

optimization

• replacement of the mechanical thermostat

and the "electromechanical" management

system of the seasonality

• Short term monitoring and data logging ofmachinery and environments

The project foresees to make "smart" units and environments through the concept of IOT by

inserting the electronic system designed with the aim of optimizing (reduce) energy consumption of

the heating rooms and units in buildings where the presence of people is occasional and the plants

are centralized.

SMART€R project

GOALS: setting up a campus microgrid:

1. Recognition of existing and applicable microgrid infrastructures

2. Analysis and assessment of the current energy infrastructure

3. Identification or design of innovative management technologies and models resulting from the state of the art to the specifications of our Campus

4. Identification of relevant sources of funding both public and private

The Smart Campus project aims at: 1. using the existing electrical energy measurement and communication

infrastructure of the campus (optical fiber ring for communications and measurement transformers for electrical quantities)

2. building an experimental system for the campus electrical grid monitoring and control, based on modern H/W-S/W platforms (real-time open source operating systems and IP-based protocols) that are open, flexible and adaptable to possible future developments.

Smart Campus PARTNERS

deliver “University Buildings Energy Efficiency Roadmap for the Development ofSmart Campuses”

carry out an assessment of the actual energy consumption measurements andcontrol systems at university campus buildings in the involved regions, based onthe first guidelines available on “Smart Readiness Indicator”.

develop a road map, selecting promising technologies and smart energymanagement systems (IoT driven)

develop a policy dialogue, leading to specific regional policy commitments that canaccelerate the progress towards EU policy objectives

deliver a portfolio of technical, financial and legislative solutions and services tomeet the challenges locally and regionally

stimulate urban symbiosis approach

improve and develop interoperability of building automation

OUTPUT of Smart Campus Pilot Project

overcome the potential legal and administrative constraints, that different regions andcountries may have towards Energy policies: Public Administrations are not completely able to technically assess and verify the effectiveness of energy services delivered;

guidelines should be structured in order to be usable at different scales and by different Countries and should also integrate actual European policies

results obtained in the Pilot, can be generally applied to Public Administration Buildings.

business and financial plan for the deployment of technologies and innovative solutions should be set up

creating conditions for the involvement of new private actors and for creating PPP to leverage investments for competitive technologies

“Smartness” refers to the capability of a

• single building,

• a system of buildings/districts

• distribution infrastructures

to sense, interpret, communicate and

actively respond in an efficient manner

to the changing conditions, which are

introduced by

• demands of occupants

• operation of technical building

systems/districts

• the territory

• operation conditions

• the external environment (including

energy grids)

“Smart Ready Technologies” are considered to

be active components which could potentially:

• raise energy efficiency and comfort by

increasing the level of controllability of the

technical building systems

• facilitate the energy management and

maintenance of the building including via

automated fault detections

• automate the reporting of the energy

performance of buildings and their real time

inspections

• use advance methods such as data analytics,

self-learning control systems and model

predictive control to optimize building

performance

• storage systems and energy generators to

become active operators in a

demand/response setting
