Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The project ENDORSE aims at a user-driven development of downstream services in renewable energies by exploiting the GMES Core Services (MACC, SAFER and Geoland 2) together with other EO/in-situ data and modelling. It addresses regional services promoting the energy use from sun, wind, and biomass, electricity grid management and building engineering through daylighting in buildings. The consortium has teamed with relevant users to stimulate the development of sustainable and transferable downstream services. ENDORSE will 1) develop and validate pre-market downstream services in collaboration with well-defined end-users by performing R&D activities; 2) assess the conditions for self-sustainability of these services through surveys and workshops with end-users; 3) disseminate the achievements of the project to foster the use of Core Services data and other EO data by the renewable energies community; 4) stimulate the market of downstream services in renewable energies towards the end-users community, and the development of such services by SMEs and other service-oriented companies by demonstrating precursors with documented conditions of sustainability. The expected major outcomes of ENDORSE are 1) scientific advances in assessment of surface air temperature and solar radiation, and data fusion; 2) a set of validated and documented innovative methods exploiting Core Services data and other EO data; 3) a portfolio of pre-market services, serving as precursors and examples of best practices for similar downstream services (other regions, other providers), with documented conditions of sustainability; 4) a stimulation of the renewable energies community towards exploitation of Core Services data and other EO data; 5) a stimulation of the service industry towards development of downstream services; 6) feedbacks to Core Services on their data, and as a whole to GMES and GEOSS on the exploitation of EO data in renewable energies area.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Researchers are developing sustainable tools and services to promote investment into renewable energy sources (RESs), thereby aiding Europe's move away from dependence on fossil fuels.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Solar, water, geothermal and biomass energy sources still experience limited exploitation and there are risks involved when investing in these systems. But scientists do know that Earth Observation (EO) data can be useful when planning and deploying such RESs.
In fact, the EU-funded 'Energy downstream services - Providing energy components for GMES' (ENDORSE) project makes use of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Core Services and other EO/in situ data and modelling. It is developing user-driven downstream services in renewable energy.
The services are in the form of software or web services, and they allow for better modelling of environmental and atmospheric aspects of renewable energy. Their users are the scientific community at large, as well as engineers in renewable energies, and MSc and PhD students. The end users set to benefit are policymakers, public agencies in charge of energy, operators of electricity grids and energy plants, consultants, investors and architects.
ENDORSE initially identified 10 services following the requests of local users, focusing on solar, wind and biomass energy, electricity management and day lighting in buildings. First versions of the service products were made available and have been tested by prime users, allowing for feedback. The users were also consulted about market issues that may affect the acceptance of these services should they become operational on a larger scale.
Ultimately, ENDORSE will produce a set of validated and innovative methods that exploit EO data. This will be presented with a portfolio of pre-market services, containing documented conditions of sustainability. It is hoped that the use of these services will encourage investments into renewable energy systems.
