A new project in LARES ''Integration and smart management of energy storages at historical urban sites“ (STORE4HUC) started on the 1st of April 2019. The main goal of the project is to improve territorially based low-carbon energy planning strategies. It will enrich policies that support climate change mitigation in historical city centres by focusing on improved urban and spatial planning for integrating energy storage systems to enhance the public institutional and utility capabilities. The partners will develop policy recommendations and identify suitable integrated technological solutions to overcome low carbon development barriers in historic centres. They will also facilitate the development of open energy and load management systems for energy efficiency and use of renewables. With its concepts and pilot systems, STORE4HUC will provide smart city test beds in four countires (Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italia), where technical issues will be reconciled with historical and architectural values.
The project partners are: Development agency Sinergija (Lead Partner), Municipality Lendava, Energy and Innovation Centre of Weiz, 4ward Energy Research Ltd, CES clean energy solution GmbH, Environment Park, City of Cuneo, North-West Croatia Regional Energy Agency, University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Climate Alliance. The project associated partners are: Croatian Association of Historic Towns, CRC bank foundation, City of Maribor, Climate and Energy modelregion – climate friendly naturepark Almenland, Biomasse district heating Weizberg, Krapina-Zagorje County
LARES will inherit the energy management software developed within the 3Smart project and adapt it for management of energy storages on the planned pilot sites.
The project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Central Europe programme.
