Description and objectives

The project's specific objectives are:

Develop three novel inverter topologies for high-performance, scalable PV integration across different voltage and power ranges.
Integrate embedded smart functionalities into inverter hardware and firmware for enhanced monitoring, diagnostics and grid interaction.
Enable interoperable, secure and predictive digitalisation of PV plants through integrated data frameworks and monitoring systems.
Develop advanced control strategies to enable grid support, flexibility services and optimised operation.
Validate the SUNVIBE solutions at TRL6, ahead of a pilot-scale demonstration campaign at three complementary sites in Finland, France and Spain, up to TRL7.
Engage market actors and stakeholders in open and dynamic dialogue for knowledge sharing.

Value proposition

Addresses a structural challenge facing European grids caused by mass electrification and high renewable penetration, reinforcing system stability and resilience.
Technological innovation validated up to TRL7 under real-world conditions, across three complementary pilots in Finland, France and Spain.
Quantifiable impacts: higher energy yield, availability and flexibility, with reduced losses, curtailment and deferral of costly grid reinforcements.
Strategic contribution to Europe's technological leadership in power electronics and to the transition towards a resilient, renewable-based energy system.
