TILOS is a European research project engaging 13 participating enterprises and institutes from 7 European countries (DE, FR, EL, UK, SE, IT, ES). The project’s main goal is to demonstrate the potential of local / small-scale battery storage to serve a multipurpose role within an island micro grid that also interacts with a main electricity network. Among others, the project aims to achieve large-scale RES penetration and asset value maximization through the optimum integration of a hybrid RES (wind and PV) power station together with advanced battery storage, distributed, domestic heat storage, smart metering and DSM.
Project objectives will be accomplished through the development and operation of an integrated, smart micro grid on the island of Tilos. Tilos belongs to the island complex of Dodecanese, on the south-eastern part of the Aegean Sea, and is interconnected to the host grid of Kos and Kalymnos islands via an undersea cable.
Main objectives
The main objective of TILOS is the development and operation of a prototype battery system based on NaNiCl2 batteries from FIAMM, provided with an optimum, real-environment smart grid control system and coping with the challenge of supporting multiple tasks, including:
• Micro grid energy management
• Maximization of Renewable Energy System (RES) penetration
• Grid stability
• Export of guaranteed energy
• Ancillary services to the main grid of Kos
