A campus transformed into a full Renewable Energy Community
The Cyprus demo site aims to convert the University of Cyprus campus into a fully functional Renewable Energy Community, integrating rooftop PV systems, battery storage, smart meters, EV chargers, and digital monitoring tools.
The focus centres on demonstrating institutional energy independence, grid reduction, and coordinated building management as a unified REC. SOCIAREM evaluates inverter control strategies, real-time optimisation tools, and digital interfaces for consumption visualisation.
The site provides an environment to model microgrid behaviour, explore flexibility services, and assess stakeholder engagement through educational resources.
Tools linked to the Cyprus demo
The Cyprus pilot concentrates on digital coordination, stakeholder engagement and smart control strategies. These are the SOCIAREM tools most directly connected with that work.
Advanced inverter control algorithms enabling dynamic grid support, reactive power management and seamless integration of distributed solar assets.
IoT-powered real-time optimisation and management platform providing live insights, smart metering data and automated demand-response recommendations.
Open and interoperable data-sharing infrastructure enabling communities to collect, exchange and leverage social and energy data in a privacy-preserving way.
Interactive gamification tool increasing citizen awareness, participation and energy literacy, adapting content to diverse cultural and geographical contexts.
