IANOS

IANOS brings together two Lighthouse (LH) islands (Terceira-PT, Ameland-NL), and three Fellow islands (FI) (Lambedusa-IT, Bora-Bora-FR, Nisyros-GR), all sharing a common vision of decarbonizing their energy systems and be energy independent until 2050. Thirty-four (34) strongly experienced partners from nine (9) European countries, join forces to deliver smart technological, economic and social innovations, providing systemic optimization starting from an Energy Community-centric approach. IANOS adopts an Island Energy Transition Strategy built around three (3) Island Energy Transition Tracks that focus on: a) Energy efficiency and grid support for extremely high RES penetration, b) Decarbonization through electrification and support from non-emitting fuels, c) Empowering  Local Energy Communities (LEC). Through IANOS an impressive repository of elements (technologies, tools,  methods) will be demonstrated in the two LH islands and within nine (9) carefully defined Use-Cases (UCs) that will lead to: a reduction of fossil fuel consumption by 379.7 GWh/y, an increase in RES utilization by 83.6 GWh/y, increase accuracy of vRES forecasts by >10% and reduce energy bills of end-users by >15%. In total, 900 participants (prosumers/consumers) will be involved in LECs by the end of IANOS. Elements to be demonstrated include: an iVPP (Intelligent Virtual Power Plant) operative orchestration toolkit, smart energy routers, hybrid transformers, flywheel storage, biobased batteries,  heat batteries, tidal kite, an auto-generative digester and the IANOS Energy Planning and Transition Suite (IEPT). The replication potential of IANOS UCs will be evaluated in the three FIs. Due to their current local energy mix, Terceira and Ameland can particularly act as LHs for geothermal and hydrogen-centered island economies, respectively

Standardisation Objectives:

The main objective regards an assessment of the regulatory framework, compliance with norms and standards, and missing steps toward certification and TRL9 of the enabling technologies developed by the project for IANOS Use Cases. 
This activity will be performed in order to identify technical/Non-technical barriers towards the full marketability of project solutions and how IANOS can promote new type of standards, best practices and normative for the facilitation of IANOS replication.

Reason for applying to HSbooster.eu services

Below, the main reasons for the IANOS project's application for the Standardisation Booster Service:

• Understanding the scenario of standards and technical regulations related to the project outcomes
• Identifying potential gaps between existing standards and innovative project solutions towards certification and commercialisation:
• Identification and potential involvment of the key Standard Development Organisations (SDOs)
